[CUBE] MacResQ Cube repair program

[Bill Fox]

For informational purposes only: Cut a thick piece of paper into the 
shape of a "washer" about 1" in diameter with about a 1/4" diameter 
hole. Remove the core. Lightly tape the washer by its outer edge with 
electrical tape over the switch on the Cube's core. Replace the core.

This has worked for me on a used Cube with no warranty. But YMMV and I 
offer no guarantee or warranty, written or implied, that your Cube 
won't erupt into a multi-alarm fire in the middle of the night, 
engulfing your entire city, or develop some lesser malady.
