Actually it is on the bench waiting for this part.

Well, I am not usually wrong (I fix hardware myself) and I have enough 
experience to know it was not a user problem. All my other laptops work 
from the power supply no matter how long the battery sat empty.

The logic board should have been replaced last time when the power 
supply kept being burnt out...in fact, it fried one of their display 
computers so you would have thought they would have known! Instead they 
sent me home with a new brick.

Fortunately I took it in again when I did.

BTW, what is the standard for the newest Airport cards? Is it b or g? I 
haven't decided which one to get yet... if Airport is g, I might have 
them toss one in....while they have it open.
