I see some cooked mosfets. If you have skill with a soldering iron, more than likely you could fix it real cheap.

Since you opened it... Doesn't that void the warranty?

was it brand new or a refurb?

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.
