Umm... their assembly people barely get the machine built correctly the first time around. I'd rather have them stick to the easy stuff (insert Tab A into Slot B) and do the more meticulous techie work by myself. When my 7700...

Dunno what kind if impact would pull a brass standoff out like that. Hm. You might be able to tap it back into position, but if you do, I'd highly recommend disassembling that whole plate so you don't fat-finger the repair and break...

Try using an external keyboard hooked up to the PS2 port. If it works perfectly in both the BIOS and Windows, you'll need to go to AW's tech support site and troubleshoot the onboard keyboard. Very likely, it's a problem with the...

Wow, $15 for a set of stick-on bumpers? You can find similar bumpers at any hardware store - best bet is in the kitchens or cabinets section.
