I've been having internet connectivity problems, and other problems, with my blue-and-white Power Mac G4. I believe I've narrowed the problem down to the logic board.
Because money is tight, and also because I'm not 100% certain the problem is the logic board, I bought a used board on Ebay. It's the same part number as my existing board.
The new board has all of the PCI and memory slots. I'll have to remove the heat sink and CPU from my existing board to put on the new board.
I've had non-Mac people tell me it should be a piece of cake, and others warn me of disaster.
So, which is it? And does anyone have any tips? Also, does replacing the logic board require re-installation of software, as one PC owner told me?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
