Eeeek, another one! so, do you have solid numbers on exactly how many > people are having this problem?! Currently I am aware of roughly 5 people or so (who's email adressed I have= ) who are having this problem.

My system was repaired twice, once for a faulty sound card (which again broke after the repair) and once for a faulty video card (which knock on wood hasn't had a problem since). what can I do? Because I don't have warranty anymore. > In additon I am in Denmark and bought the laptop on > ebay.com USA. See if you can find out how far out of warranty the unit is. Then call them and demand it be fixed. Mine was a few months out and they _still_ fixed it (which is what led me to believe that this is may be a known problem). I will dig up the support # I used and email it to you when I'm home from work. Do you think if I go to Sharp, they would fix it for > me? Sharp do not sell the UM32w in Europe... so I am > not sure what to do?! I'm sure they would but from what I've heard it's an extremely large sum of money. I will keep you informed if I stir up enough dust to make a legal move possible. Thanks for contacting me (and cc'ing the Freebsd-mobile list for the archives!).
