Would figure that a refurb would be thoroughly checked over before shipping, but was clearly not in this case.  First power on after receiving, received a system error message from the BIOS (didn't even get to the Windows logo) and then it sat "collecting information" at 0% for 15 minutes.  Shut it down, then all attempts afterward to start back up would give a blank screen and powering down within 2 seconds.Wife could not wait for a replacement to be sent, so ended up driving 168 miles round trip to MEI to get one in person instead.
