[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1110888, member: 56379"] Repairing a logic board is pretty serious business. You have to have some way of testing everything on the logic board to see exactly what has gone bad. You also need to know the specs on every component on the logic board to know what voltage or resistance each item is supposed to have. Believe me...this is something that many many experienced people couldn't fix...and this is WELL beyond any sort of repair job for a self-described "computers isn't my thing" sort of person! Also...it would probably be cheaper to buy a used logic board than to have someone try & repair it. There would just be wayyyyy tooooo many hours & hours of troubleshooting. Honestly...your two best options for this computer are: - put it back for sale on e-Bay...and hopefully someone will buy it for parts - go back to your e-Bay auction, and contact the high bidders who came in 2nd or 3rd place...and see if they are still interested in it. Bottom line...get it sold for as much as possible...and if you can't recover all your money...consider the loss a lesson well learnt!;) Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
