Correct. I just decided it was faster to resolder them than it was to
inspect each solder joint for fracturing. I used to get them cheap
because they were non-functional or intermittent. I'd fix 'em and
resell 'em for $200. Pretty amazing when you consider Office Depot
just had a Toshiba laptop on sale for $450- with wireless G and double
layer DVD burner!
