    My poor little M13 got squizeed in the left bottom area, where the SD reader is. As the results, the Lan jack is wasted, the SD slot is wasted and headphones jack was wasted. I fixed the headphones jack, because otherwise, there would be no sound from speakers, but did not bother with SD nor LAN jack. Or right, and the LCD was smashed. Other than that, little fellow was pretty OK.

    After fixing headphones jack and changing LCD I put everything together, booted fine, yay, but...now there are some strange issues with power. Sometimes it refuses to boot. It turns on, light is on, but it does not start its boot sequence. I have to turn it off and leave it for 10mins, then its working again.
    Second issue with power is the shutdown. It shuts down, but then, instead of staying shut down, it instantly power's on again. So I cannot shut it down properly, even if I go into bios and do the shutdown, it wont.
    I tried unplugging bios battery, tried on battery, without battery, nothing seems to help and I have no idea what's behind this.

    Any ideas?
