Well, I've got a 92 that I think the port is gone messed up on. Only
problem is, I've only had it for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure what to do
just yet. I'm half tempted to take it in and see if they'll exchange it for
a new one. I wonder if I could send it in to TI and they could repair it?
Any suggestions?
Dave
