Of course, I share that suspicion. :-)
However, since I was to spend a whole afternoon plugging and unplugging
hardware, I took the oportunity to do some upgrading with extra spare parts
as well (more memory, network card, etc). And when I saw that the old power
supply was declared with 135 watts max output, I definitely took the chance
of switching it for a 350W one. :-)
So even if the power supply was the true cause of failure for hd and dvd, it
is not an issue anymore.
Best, :-)
