[QUOTE="berazzi, post: 1779328, member: 397241"] Okay so I just joined as i thought I might get some help here. To keep it brief, I had a 1.1 and stumbled across some spare parts on the local trading site so i thought "what the heck". So I got a logicboard with CPU's, ram riser cards with a couple of dimms, fans, gfx and some of the covers. So basically everything except, HDD's, front panel board and the case itself. So I have just tried to swap it, so basically pulled apart my machine, put in the new logicboard, new ram riser cards, put in the cpu heatsinks, fans, gfx and have doublechecked all the wires are connected. I even also connected the WiFi antenna as the new logicboard have a wifi card. But I obviously messed up as when I try to boot it I only heard like a brief click and I cannot determine where it comes from but its definitely at the front of the case. That and a short red flash from a LED somewhere near the WiFi card (or at least close vicinity). I have tried troubleshooting using this: [URL]http://tim.id.au/laptops/apple/macpro/macpro_early2008.pdf[/URL] But when found anything. When pressing the DIAG_LED only the second LED (STBY) lights yellow, which as far as i understand is what its supposed to do. I think I got all the necessary details, otherwise let me know. Anyone have any suggestions? [/QUOTE]
