No, the bottom of the implant has only 4 flush-fitting points which could
nothave contacted anything significant. A motherboard swap might be
necessary. The case is in great shape, and the screen and backlight are in
mint condition. It would be a waste to not use that Newt again. I'll keep
youposted.
