Oh, OK, thanks for spelling that out. I thought the lesson was, don't fix computers for friends or relatives!

Wow, I screw that one up on a irregular basis, and that's never happened to me. That sucks a bunch.
I also learned once why you're supposed to hit the power button BEFORE opening the monitor case (hint: there's a GREAT big capacitor in there to start the monitor).
BZZZZZZTTTT!!!
