They will probably first run you through a few things to make sure it's actually a problem, but I think if you really insist (maybe exaggerate the problem a bit... nothing too off-the-wall, but make it sound serious), they'll probably send you one.
True.

You might change the "it works 70% of the time" to make it a bit worse than it is. You might also mention other power mgr. type problems, such as going to sleep and not waking up.

It's going to be a gamble, no matter what route you take. Good luck!
