Boy, I hope it's the latter and not the former. Yes, I would feel bad asking him for help fixing an analog board, unless he indicated eagerness to help, but asking him about the missing chapter in his book doesn't bother me. I just wish there was some way to do so. Maybe someone can get Kyle that address. I hope he's still around. His books were worth far more than the price charged. Of course, now days that appears to be literaly true. I saw a "Dead Mac Scrolls" (or was it MRUS?) go for over $100 on Ebay about a year ago or so. Of course, the seller only said it contained Mac repair info. He didn't bother to mention which models it covered... >The only thing I can think of is that they might be in Classic and SE RUS and >the publishers decided to move that chapter to the later book at the last >minute, and the editor failed to notice that reference. I don't have that one. I remember browsing it at a store, but never bought it. I never had an SE or Classic. I had a friend with a Classic. What were they thinking with that funny RAM module? >>it >>cuts out (machine restarts or shuts down) and the neon bulb comes on. >>I figure that bulb must be a clue to what's happening when I flex the >>board. > >I bet it's an indicator of some sort for the situation you describe :) LOL.
