Good evening all!
Great news Doc - now we can expect many more years of your harassment here on BB!
Took my computer back to COMP USA today. All that's wrong with the machine is that the sleeve that hold the on/off switch in place - has a plastic retainer - smaller around than a pencil lead - and maybe 1/4" long break off. The new part includes a plug, a switch, and two lights. Cost $120 - on June 15, 2004 - I paid 149.99 for a three year service contract - so I'm just getting part of my money back. They will UPS me the part when it comes in - I should have no problem replacing it.
Here's the kicker - the tech said that normally he wouldn't be able to get just the switch. Usually he would have to get the whole case. But must be lots of people were having the same problem - cause they list the switch as a part that is available. But with my machine - there is no part number for the case. So if they didn't have the switch - and as they don't have the case - they would have had to give me a new computer. Now that wouldn't have been such a bad thing!
Well - I'm glad the computer still works - I would be lost without it.
