[drats_users] re "John E. Malmberg" and Dell 600 M

[Alan McGrew]

John as a side issue to your OS choices, you mentioned that the free Dell had a bad connection with the power supply. I do not know your soldering skills but a lot of these computers had similar issues and 99 percent of the issues came from a broken solder connection at the power connector inside the computer. ( the black block that you plug the power cord into is loose) If you have done electronic repairs before it is an easy fix with some solder and a grounded style soldering pencil of around 25 watts.
