@nordlead - Great thinking! I don't remember if it was charged or not but likely it was. I'm sure my MC would offer that too. Here's hoping!
@Rol - Divorced. My ex doesn't care - she has her own to gloat over me now. My gf doesn't know yet.
@theprof00 - That was funny. I LOLed. Thanks.
@Everyone - thanks for the thoughts. Called Nintendo, past warrenty, have to take (or ship) it in and pay $84.75 for repair. First console to ever die (my son had N64, PS2, GC previously)
