I've done it all on-line, before. Steve Well, i've had a problem like that a few months ago... My motor was *completely* stuck, it didn't turn... I tried to open it and ended up breaking one of the motor's inner components... My advice is: if you don't know how to do it, don't do it! =P The result from my experience is that I am now the proud owner of a stuck and broken motor :D __________________________________________________________ Email gratuito com 2 000 MB Espaço para guardar as memórias de uma vida http://www.portugalmail.pt/2000mb
