My God, not another one of these threads. Search the site to determine IF you should own a DSM, IF you do own a DSM, IF you should be a member of the site, IF we care anymore, IF your DSM is broken, IF it will ever break again, IF you will know how to fix it, IF we care IF you fix it or not, etc, etc, etc. ;)
