[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1026620"] I think you mean "new to you," since the QuickSilver hasn't been made in like eight years now. As for "standard cpu maintenance" I am sorry for your problem but I have to laugh at that statement. Oh you PC users! :) Yeah, Macs never need to reapply thermal paste and applying it incorrectly causes problems -- as you've discovered. But to answer your question: The answer is "you don't." You can certainly purchase a whole new logicboard or a replacement quicksilver (the latter is likely to be the cheaper option, actually), and you might possible find someone still selling a processor upgrade kit for that machine, but other than that you're probably out of luck. Not meaning to be unduly negative, but a machine that old isn't worth sinking any money into, at least not on the scale you'd need to to resurrect it. If it really is a QuickSilver, that's a machine from 2002 and worth perhaps $100 (well, WAS worth $100). Sorry. [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
