[ltp] What is a Planar Board?

[Dragos Vingarzan]

I would say that is the motherboard.

They changed it on my R32 3 times until they got it right...

Now they changed my HDD on the same machine - must have been built on a 
Monday ;-). Very please by the change, as when you can identify the 
problem and change the part yourself, they send you a replacement in the 
next morning through UPC in Europe. What amazed me was that they did not 
want the old one back, although in the box I found a prepaid return 
label for the package and instruction to send it back... What if the 
defective one actually worked? Hey! don't screw it now that I told you 
;-)! it is really nice to have things fixed in <24h!
