Electrical shorts on the board, requiring component level repair....replacing diodes, etc...all that requires a delicate soldering hand, and good knowledge.. DTTService is the place to go. As I understand it, they have procured a fair amount of servicable "boards"... I/O boards, logic boards, processor cards, ect... and when you send in your box, your "bad board" is replaced with one of their boards, and your bad board is then "recycled". I believe this is how they operate. Although in some cases, they may actually be repairing the bords you send in, but they have pretty quick turn times, so I think they are swapping boards. If someone has more info, that would be good. In my case, I was referred to them by MCE. I called MCE after my 2400 started buzzing, and emitted smoke before I could get it unplugged and the battery out of it. Turned out the logic board got fried. A bit over 200 bucks and three days later, I had it back. Pretty good deal, considering my options. Mark ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
