 Actually, the problem occurred while the ROM 01 GSs were being produced. 
If you had a GS with a serial number between xxxxxx  and yyyyyyy then you 
could take it back for a FREE swap.  This was a while before the ROM 03 
actually came out.  If you have a ROM 03, then I don't know of any Apple 
deal concerning the power supply.
( I think the deal I'm talking about was back in the late 80's ... '88 or 
'89 ???)
