Thanks for the comments! Feels good to be able to use what I have left over in parts to repair devices still in action. BTW, an update on the Evoo laptop: My son's grandfather was able to find the problem, a shorted MOSFET caused by the blown cap. He tested with one he had on hand and it turned on and booted. Once he finds a MOSFET with the correct rating, it should be back in action!

It's always nice seeing a repair win, especially if its done with reused parts! Makes me feel justified for refusing to get rid of any of my devices...

Hey Claudio, great show! Enjoy hearing about BSD, even if it's hardware-related! Thanks!
