Hi Tom, I was the one who originally posted the message regarding the lock up problem with the 760ELD. In my case, it would locked up after extended use in the beginning but now will just lock up if I moved it from a desk to my lap. If you could let everyone know what your technician find out regarding this problem, I think it'll be appreciated.
