You are not the first person, nor will you be the last person, that
has asked the list for help on what turns out to be a hardware
problem. It is not always easy to know when you start
troubleshooting. This is especially true when you didn't think you
did anything that would have caused the problem.

I don't think it is a problem if you ask about hardware problems on
the list anyway. There are a lot of people on this list that have
run into unusual hardware problems and can recognize the symptoms,
and know what to check to be sure.
