        Ohhhh, Scott--I'm *really* sorry to hear this kind of crap happening.
Personally, when I sent my machine in, I got only the best of service and the
problem (a loose hinge) was fixed almost instantaneously--I had a near-perfect
machine returned to me in just a few days.

        But if I were in your position, I can't say I'd know what to do.
Sounds like they just plain damaged your machine and want to pretend it never
happened. I think I'd be trying to call the higher-ups and explain what
happened. Hopefully they'll make it right.

        Meanwhile, keep us posted.
