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.</blockquote>

Verification: How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
