Laptop problem finally solved

So for a long time we couldn't figure out why our laptop kept going to sleep spontaneously. We thought there was a backlight problem, a monitor short problem, something like that. Mind you, all the software settings made sure that it should not go to sleep -- energy saver set to 'never', screensaver off, etc.

But after the poor lappy spending several weeks at CompUSA, they finally discovered that two cables for the dvd player had shorts in them that were putting the machine into "safe, low power mode".

Argh!

But we are supposed to get it back today, so YAY!
