"come away"?? if it pulled out of a socket, plug it back in if you actually broke the motherboard, start shopping for another machine, and cut down on the spinach and coffee are you using the online manuals? good luck -- -- NOT sent from an iphone,blackberry,Nokia, or any handheld. -- I'm a PC(x86 AND ppc) AND I RUN LINUX!!!
