FYI, HP doesn't make motherboards. The boards in their PC's are made by motherboard manufacturers. :-) -Clint
Merry Christmas & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Harris" < Hi Harold and all, Interesting; I was just reading Maximum PC today and it has anrticle mentioning HP in this vein. Page 20 of the December issue has two columns about a class action settlement against motherboard manufacturer MSI. Bad capacitors strike again! Anyway, the article mentions this: {Philadelphia attorney Johnathan Shub, who negotiated the settlement with MSI, told the Dog, "We have no indication as yet how widespread the problem is." Shub said he is also negotiating litigation against Soyo, Jetway, and Hewlett-Packard over the bad caps. He welcomes information from consumers regarding their bad capacitor problems at [EMAIL PROTECTED] }.
