Don't feel so bad Dan. I was working on my other eMate last night and
stripped one of the motherboard screws. D'oh! I felt **really** dumb. Those
factory-set screws are really tough to get out the first time around. I
wasn't paying attention for a second and munged it.
I guess I'll have to get one of those screw-out things, as I really want to
check and oil the springs on this one as well as maybe put some blinkenlights
in it :)
