PS There are many posts at Amazon (reviews) by owners who had this or
similar happen to their machines. Maybe they didn't do as I did and wait
and see if the machine would come back to life before throwing it away
or seeking warantee replacement. I can understand that -- who would
expect an apparently dead machine to come back to life? If I hadn't
encountered those two reviews that hinted that this could happen, I
would have been apt to just assume the machine had become permanently
useless.
