As an Apple Certified Technician I can assure you that if you sent that machine to my shop I wouldn't have looked at that printout for more than a second and then I would have gone about my merry way troubleshooting it with *real* utilities. Not lightweight consumer stuff like Techtool. Real techs almost never use Techtool. Ironic naming? I missed the first part of the thread...what did they end up replacing? It would be one of 4 things.
