[QUOTE="bigneilt, post: 789511, member: 82172"] So I've tried my hand at soldering this logic board with disastrous results. I tried twice today to solder just the wires to the nubs on the board and then start with power button and nothing happened. Then before putting everything away, I tried to jump it with a screwdriver to see if it would start and all I saw after fiddling with it for a long time was that fan spun for a couple seconds. The green light on the adapter was lit. I don't know if that's an indicator that the board is not shorted out. Maybe the area with the power connector nubs is just so badly worn that I can't start it with a screwdriver any more: [IMG]http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u122/heavyjavadrinker/internet/logicboard_dead.jpg[/IMG] How can you tell if the logic board is shorted out or not?
