[NTLK] eMate death question

[Alan Grassia]

Hello Newton Friends,

Yup, that happened to me just this past weekend. There was a good amount of panic over possibly having killed an eMate that survived all these years only to be killed in two weeks in my care. 

Thankfully, it was just a slider to motherboard alignment issue.

Cheers,
Alan Grassia
