Interesting that this subject should come up right now. Over the weekend
my 3b1 seems to have lost its power supply. My clues? The entire thing
just died, I was out of the room when it happened but the entire machine
is dead. No fan, no video, nothing.

Do 3b1 power supplies have a reputation for failure?

BTW, have your every tried to find someone to fix a 3b1? It ain't easy.
Here I am in the heart of Silicon Valley and people act like my machine
is from another planet! "Is that a 6300?" "I've never seen one of those."
"Uh, we could look at it but we'll have to order any parts, why don't you
call AT&T?" etc...

How DO you go about getting a 3b1 fixed?
