While there is a possibility that he's taken the covers off without proper precautions against static electricity and fried the controller in a way that say, ties an IRQ active or something, I'm guessing that he's simply not used to the boot sequence and where it hangs is a bit past the BIOS. And, as we know about people who are trained to work on MSWindows, they are trained not to fix anything that's too hard. Time is money, etc. -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
