Mine died on Friday. I booted...it loaded my stuff to my ram disk started to display the time...later when I hit the any key, it died...crahed to the monitor. Like it over heated...but NOT like it over heated. When I went to reboot, it beeped (kind of sickly) and showed a garbled text screen. If I leave it a lone for a while (to "cool off") then it boots again but eventually dies. It is still on warrenty. Maybe this is my chance to upgrade to a Zip8. You know, a dissatisfied customer....
