Are there any other Samsung S5200 owners out there who have had problems
with modems, I/O ports, or screens?

I've had all three.  My S5200 has already been in to repair a screen that
periodically either goes blank or displays garbage when I turn it on.
(The repair order mentioned cold solder joints.)  The problem is still
occurring.

Also, some programs I have don't work with an internal modem or with a
modem connected to COM1.  (Other programs and systems use both the
modem card and the external modem just fine.)

There was a rumor in this newsgroup several months ago about the Award BIOS
having some kind of problem.  Has anybody ever heard anything more about
this?

BTW, I bought my system in Orange County, Cal, last June, but I've noticed
that it has a CANADIAN radio interference sticker rather than a US one.
What gives?
