I am typing this message from the machine that the free beer offer was for in the event that someone could come up with a solution for the problem I was trying to resolve, I have fixed the machine on my own, but in appreciation for those who tried to help, (as well as those who put up with my free beer promo to attract attention to my posting on another thread) I will still give out the free beer as soon as I get back to my own machine.
  Thank you and good day.
