Brian just called from the University of Akron PC repair and they will be able to order the parts and fix my laptop. I’m supposed to get another call when the parts come in, so this should be pretty painless and it doesn’t look like I’ll be missing too much time without my laptop.

Don’t know if I mentioned it, but my sisters kids dumped the laptop over on it’s side from a table when the receiver for the wireless mouse was in a USB port on the side. It of course landed directly on the receiver which jammed itself into the side of the laptop bending and breaking the USB ports and breaking the chassis as well. It was $20 to order a new receiver from Logitech and the laptop is covered under the warranty, so that isn’t an issue.
