    If you use the resource DVD then the only fix is to replace the motherboard;

    ( There is a thread on here about replacing a chip on the motherboard ) but I'm not able to locate it; I'm sure someone will come along who knows more about this than me.

    I would suggest that you shouldn't talk to the rep yourself since he'll take advantage of your juvenile voice. Try to involve an adult.

    Just a quick reminder folks:

    Discussion of illegal activities such as fraud, software and music piracy and other intellectual property violations are not allowed. There is a zero tolerance policy for illegal activity being discussed.

    *fraud* includes false statements to tech support. NBR will not permit posts of this nature.
