No doubt.  

My comment about replacing it was just a statement about what happened
in my case (since fighting with old hardware is not exactly a valuable use
of my time).  It wasn't a suggestion.

The post itself was not much more than "you're not the only person
seeing something wonky".  Mine is unfortunately lacking in hard data.
