[QUOTE="AndrewDun, post: 1905346, member: 404249"] I think you were lucky to find that schematic. I have never found one for any Mac I have been involved with, and I have thought myself lucky even to find Apple's service manual. I think that they withdrew them years ago, but some still hang about. As for schematics, well! I still have my black screen iMac, thinking that one day I will learn what the problem is, so I would not cannibalise it willingly. But I find so many defunct or abandoned appliances everywhere that any common component is always to hand on a scrap board. There must be people who understand logic boards in the way that lesser folk understand old amplifiers etc, but they do not surface readily when I do google searches for these obscure-seeming board faults. If the "gone" trace is very long, there is nothing to stop you just running a length of insulated wire between its ends, and perhaps glueing it to the board here and there. Hope it all works. It is very satisfying to get something back into working order. [/QUOTE]
