They tell me from the symptoms that it has motherboard issues and while it is still covered I want them to take care of the problem. It has been limping and having trouble for a while and I want an expert to handle it before the warranty runs out on me. Then I will take over and probably make a mess of it from there but I can take the effort to save for a new one very seriously from here on now that I realize it probably won't last forever....it is clear now. We always hope....
