By the way, I am typing this on a $499 laptop from Fry's Electronics
(ZX-5360). I bought it back in October and has been working flawlessly
since day 1. Very impressive given this brand (Great Quality) is often
dubbed as "cheap". This thing is reliable and does the job for me. It
has never crashed
Well, I was basically talking about computer equipment for home use.
Perhaps I had a problem or two with office machines back when I used to
work as system administrator. Still, reliability was not bad at all.
I remember my first HD was a clunker "ST" seagate (full height) with 33
MB capacity. I
You will needd to buy Seagates now they bought Maxtor.

Lucky. The 7-month old hard drive on my work computer died on Tuesday.
Update:
I got a response from Tech support today. They suggested resetting the
Xilink which I already did. They also suggested pressing the left arrow
for five seconds to bring up the "setup networking" screen. Negative...
I guess I'll have to return the unit for warranty service.
Now, I am wond
The SB3 is still unresponsive. It failed to reset to factory settings
after numerous attempts. I will let it "rest" for 24 hours and try back
tomorrow night. By then, hopefully, I should have an answer from tech
support.
The strange thing about all this is how sudden and unexpected the
"death" wa
Thanks for your reply. I tried that too after checking older threads in
the archives. No dice.
I kept the key pressed before and after plugging in the connector.

Exactly last night I had the same issue: the box
BTW, because of the SB3's failure I had to press my CD/DVD player back

remote while plugging the sb3 into power.

I forgot to mention I left the SB3 unplugged for a few minutes and then
plugged it back. It did nothing.
Right now, it's warm to the touch like it usually is when working
normally. Thinking about letting it cool down for more time, perhaps a
few hours...
