[QUOTE="robk64, post: 1464545, member: 280159"] I'm good at line replaceable units, but actual soldering is something I try to avoid. I've founds bags of caps for less than $30 that are 1:1 for this motherboard, but taking it to a Mac service shop (not an Apple store) in my area to do the work will run about $200, bench fee and labor. Yes, it's a dinosaur. But there are advantages to having a dinosaur around once in awhile. I just wanted to salvage the otherwise pristine machine. Guess I may pull the RAM and hard drive and sell it for parts on ebay. Thanks. Would have been nice, though, for someone, anyone, to decode the error messages and solve the mystery. [/QUOTE]
