So, this morning i ordered some pate and truffles online, and "plop"--i get some cheap swiss rolls and a package of string cheese. Well, as you know, these things cost an arm and a leg, and i really don't want to think about repair costs, so i did some trouble shooting. I was sure the line was OK, but i picked up the phone and got a dial tone--so far, so good. I looked under the desk--the transubstantiation modem was blinking away merrily, so i took a deep breath and took the cover off the receiver. The substantion card was lit up properly, and when i hit the reset, all the lights lit up as you'd expect. But then i felt waves of heat coming from the box--i used some canned air on the heat sink, even though the fan was happily spinning away. The culprit appears to be the cosmoquillation unit--it is hotter'n a two dollar pistol!

I need some help here guys.

@Setanta,
When it overheats is a good time to push the button that opens the cup holder. It doubles as a single slice toaster (bet you didn't know that), and can provide useful cooling, but ONLY when open.

@Setanta,
I'd never have gone for the transubstantiation model.

Consubstantiation is the superior product.

No wonder it overheated!

Challenge it to a staring contest. That should stop it from blinking.

@Setanta,
Duct tape as a temporary fix? Remember -- after December 21, it really won't matter.

If duct tape fails, WD-40 will get the job done.

Are you saying WD-40 will remove the duct tape that fails? (I think it does work as a cleaner to remove tape residue.)
