Sprogget has it LR...
......when one looks at the totality of your posts, Loose, my old; it is an almost unbroken litany of broken techy stuff 'pooters, projecter TVs, laptops, PCs and cars (esp. MBs) did I miss sound systems?? Most of the trauma seem to occur after attempts to "get things right" and because you're a "perfectionist". Why not buy something and just use it? It'll cost you a hell of a lot less and save your blood pressure and stomach acid levels.
May I suggest (with my tongue in my cheek) that you take a course of yoga lessons and maybe some Pilates classes, get your chakras fettled and have a few whole body massages and maybe 2010 will get off to less stressful start (Hell I get stressed reading some of your problems!!)
OI!! I told you - don't bloody touch it.
