When I sent my 5300c for service, I got it back within 3 days, and they
fixed teh door for free.  Plus I have not had any problems except for the
power cord.  I think my 5300c is a great computer.  I have not any
problems that wouldn't happen on my desktop,  ie...system software,
extension problems.
