There is a problem (which Kinetics is aware of) with the connector
that supplies power to the main logic board. This connector must be firmly
seated; otherwise, the logic board doesn't get its power. Kinetics sent
us a little cable tie to fasten it down (although our tech fixed the
problem in his own way before the tie arrived). Hopefully, Kinetics will
change their supplier.
