Replying to: oldfarmer50 (Jun 22, 2009 8:07 am) Well that is the thing.... the information I am getting is that it is supposed to start July 1st..... But there is way to much involved.... My understanding is that dealers have to be approved for it, or be signed up for it.... What ever it is, this will be interesting to watch and participate in. GP |

Replying to: fezo (Jun 19, 2009 6:59 pm) turns out tv is covered under an extended service plan, so was my mom's car (about a month left). my wife brought the computer to some of the great computer geeks she works with. they think it is fixable and are thinking the heat sink got disconnected from the cpu, so it overheated easily. we hope that is what it is.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jun 22, 2009 4:27 pm) For your sake I hope it is fixable. However, I never heard of a heat sink that became disconnected. It's not an electrical component that is electrically connected to anything. It's a passive mechanical thingy that absorbs heat from electrical/electronic components so they don't burn themselves up. They are finned something like a like a radiator so they have more surface area for the space they consume. When the right size is used for components that generate heat they are usually quite effective. I think something got lost in the translation but like I said, I hope it is fixable and without great expense or loss of memory (computer memory that is).  jmonroe

A reporter from a large newspaper is looking to speak to consumers who is considering purchasing a Hyundai or Kia or have purchased one this year. Please send your daytime phone number and the vehicle you own to ctalati edmunds.com by Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Thanks, Chintan Corporate Communications Edmunds.com |
