[rescue] Re: Dead SS20- need advice

Pets are great for that.
Spent an hour once chasing down a sound problem on my PC - drivers were
right, everything was plugged in.
Everything looked fine - except where the cat gnawed through the speaker
cord!

P.S.  That behavior stopped after it tried that stunt with a lamp cord. :)

Well, happily, the problem turned out to be a lot simpler than I thought.
Apparently, the last time the dog squeezed in under my desk, she tripped the
switch on the powerstrip to my headless SS20. Unfortunately, I couldn't see
this unless I was looking at it *just right*.

My apologies to all for not checking the obvious first.

Thanks, though, to all who replied.
