I found the dead chip by sniffing the motherboard until I smelled something burnt. Found a chip with a hairline crack in it, replaced, and got a working machine.<br>
Gotta keep that smoke in the chips for sure...<br>

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you<br>
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his<br>
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.<br>
