Here's a stupid little question that I need some help with.  When I turned my
1040st on the red light was half on and the machine made a high pitched sound.
I took it to the local repair place and they said it was probably a blown
mother board but they couldn't fix it (they just fix IBMs).  I sent my machine
to an authorized service place, and I'm still waiting for the verdict.
Anyways, does anyone know roughly how much it would cost if it is a blown
mother board?  If so, is my machine totalled???  (gasp)  Also, a while
ago it was crashing a lot (frequent and unexplainable bombs), I took
it to a repair place and they tightened the chips or something.  Could
that have been an early sign of my current problem (the blown mother board).
Help me pleeeze.
