Well the seller said it was fully tested working and there would be no problems. As it happens, the board turned up with several components loose in the bag (badly packaged). I promptly kicked off with the seller and was able to get him to ship a replacement in better packaging after sending the damaged one back. Has worked flawlessly since. The board was about 40UKP. I paid 250UKP for my original Libretto (a *lot* of money IMHO) and as I said before it was intermittently shutting down. I managed to get the seller to pay for the replacement board detailed above. Tip: Never ever ever buy anything from ebay which is sold *untested* or *as is*. You're likely to be very unhappy, unless they're practically giving whatever it is away. -- Alistair Cockeram, Manchester UK "It's like I always say, you get more with a kind word and a two-by-four than with just a kind word." - Marcus Cole
