Cracks in EDP

[stevek@msidata.com]

... My EDP seems to be pretty sensitive to heat. ...

I have a similar problem, but my EDP makes LOUD and UGLY noises when it 
over
heats.  I have been checking for what seem to be the hot components on the
circuit board and have isolated "excess heat" to the voltage converter
(power supply) IC's.  I have not tried to replace them yet but may attempt
it soon.  I had this problem some time ago and send the unit in for 
service.
They replaced the memory chips and the EDP worked better for a while but 
the
problem has returned.  Any other ideas as to how to solve the problem would
be appreciated.

Thanks
