Summary: A new twist ....


To add a new twist to this discussion, I was having what I thought was
a power problem.  My screen display seemed to change shapes 'kinda like
the power supply was going.  So, an AT&T repairman came out with a power
supply and was going to replace it, but said he wanted to try something
first.  He re-seated the ribbon cable connector to the power supply and
my screen display seems O.K. now.

He said that Convergent hadn't crimped the connector well enough and this
was the third 3B1 he'd done this to.

Anyway, up until the repairman did this, my fan had *never* changed speeds.
But, you guessed it, now it does it about once an hour.  Seems to go into
overdrive and the air being fanned out is pretty warm.

This raises some interesting questions, maybe some AT&T guys can answer.


Boy, maybe I should make a ".signature" file, this is my third posting...
