No. But if you go messing around in the case much - I had to dive into a
"cursed Mac" issue for a friend once. The Mac worked but had odd "issues".
They'd sent the mobo for servicing twice. The first time they replaced the
processor and the second time they replaced the whole mobo. Then my
despairing friend let me have a poke around in it,
Within minutes we'd found and replaced a "not quite broken looking" ribbon
connector that had got just a tiny bit "kinked" = not even at a full right
angle - when it got caught on something during some of the "poking".
With that, the problems were cured.
So if you do much poking around in there, don't entirely rule out slightly
damaged ribbon connectors as potential culprits. I wonder how many "cursed"
computers have been written off because of them?
