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

It's too bad she didn't spill coke on you 18 years ago, and get back a
responsible father.

That isn't a product flaw, that is user negligence. You should teach
your kid some self discipline.

Are you kidding me? She fell next to her desk with a cup of coke in her
frekin' hand. Don't be a dope... And "negligence" would have been if we
didn't buy the extra "everything included" replacement policy knowing we
would be using the thing in the garage, and at the motocross track.

Perfect Harry has never spilled anything!
