Just got off the phone with the repair place: After about a week of testing, they finally saw the error i was talking about. I've been told they've ordered the part from Apple and will let me know when it's been installed and tested.

I've also been told that if this same problem comes *back* up in the future (even if i'm no longer under warranty), since they have a history of the problem, i should be covered.

I'm guessing this'll take another week or more, but what can ya do?

I love Kotoko, but i do miss Hikaru.
