[QUOTE="MacGuyFrom1831, post: 1816861, member: 401707"] [B][U]Update[/U][/B] I was able to replace all the damaged capacitors and remove the old pins. I was having problems removing one last leg and I in my frustration damaged the hole :(o_O:D One damaged hole with a wide hole and one hole stuck with a pin leg in it. However, there was a spare hole where I just placed the new capacitor in. Boots up, Apple logo, startup sound.... But, the screen still flickers and it freezes during boot up. I checked the motherboard service LEDS and all of them lights up (all 3, not the 4th one). I am starting to think it is the powersupply or the graphics card. Most likely the PSU and I've read that you can use an ATX PSU on it? Has anyone tried one? Which model works? It works better than ever as in it is so smooth now and so silent... I also took a long time to clean it up properly :) :D [/QUOTE]
