Umm... errr. Are you referring to the OP's original problem report or
mine. If it was mine then it wasn't really a problem report. I had
already done a diagnosis and told that person to return the laptop for a
refund or replacement. It was mostly a comment and I wasn't responding
directly to the OP's original problem report. It was already responded
to with the correct response.
And I have no reason to question what Dave says... however I think he
mis-read my post or I wasn't clear on that I wasn't asking any question
but rather bitching a bit here.
