Another possibility is a bad capacitor on the motherboard - we have a few
thousand Dells with bursting caps at work. Look for caps that are bursting

might be able to replace a bad one, though I have no idea if one coul dbe
I will have to dig it out from the desk, so I might as well take a look.

Mercedes content: her Neon was so bad that I let her take my new S420 to
Ft. Lauderdale for 4 days. I do love my S420 and my wife's S320, but really

You may have to enable USB on startup in the bios before it will recognize a
