- Good luck... I found after ordering a new DC power socket that it is NOT a
- simple task to replace. But there is a RS service Center in Hayward, If you
- are brave enough - you might want to open the case and see if you can see the
- extent of the damage; if it is only a componet part like the DC power socket I
- would check to see if the had on at the service center, if not you might want
- to order it before sending it in (mine to 2 months to come in).

- Again Good Luck
