My power supply once went bad and sent 20 volts thru the 5 volt line.
Fried half the chips on the board. The service people didn't even try
to fix it. Instead, it cost me about $200 for a new one. But they had
to send the old one back to Atari and I had to wait a month or so.
On the plus side, my original ST was a very early model without RF.
The replacement was a little more up to date, so now I could videotape
my adventures on Time Bandits. Yay.
