[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1176761, member: 56379"] Yeah...the 20" models are less common. Hopefully you found a good source for reasonably priced replacement parts. If it were me...trying to choose between a bad logic board or a bad power supply...I would go with the bad power supply. Power supplies are more likely to go bad than a logic board assuming: - no one spilled liquid on the computer - no heat or cooling related issues - or there were no electrical problems/surges that the computer was exposed to in it's former life/lives. I'm assuming you've checked the logic board for any "burn-marks" indicating any possible issues. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
