thats.....lol funny but wow at the same time..yea i have 2 of those machines...dell opti gx pro USB enhanced.....i HATE THEM....id agree about the lightning, but then wouldnt the psu be fried? and if not, wouldnt the board around the psu's plugs be fried? ..thephone line theory isa good one...but u cant exactly just plug an analog phone liine into ethernet since that only has 4 wires and ethernet has 8.....and when an analog phone rings, its only about 40v, when picked up its at 20v, and when still its 10v. so thats not too likely...i know NOTHING about digital phone lines ....no clue how many wires or what the pins look like....but if it was 240v at a ring, u couldnt have just a small wire, itd be much larger than ethernet...and why would it need 240v?....
btw, if u REALLY wanna fix this for this customer, go on ebay ...they have these MBs for like 10bucks on there and they usually come in lots. that is if u dont have any of those lying around the shop. lol great pics, thats halarioius
