A $526.50 repair at no cost to me, and machine is out of warranty...it's
almost four years old.

Basically, I'll have a brand new machine when I get the laptop back this
week.

I like the ones that don't need repair.



BFD, my daughter poured cokeacola on hers, three years old, burnt it out
good. Sent it out, bot it back a week later, working, clean, and without
an over inflated RO attached to it or a big heroic story of what the
parts changer replaced...snerk
