However, it may be only coincidental that the cardbus upgrade and these "fixes" occurred on the same machines. The changes to the logic boards that I noted are nontrivial -- several surface mount caps of unknown rating, more than the two jumpers I suggested. I've been tinkering with this for several years in the shop -- and maybe it would be cheaper to get a job with MCE for a few days to learn how to do it :) While I love to be their competition for many other things PowerBook, I think I'll leave cardbus activation to Kevin for now. paul |----------------------------------| | After Hours Macintosh Consulting | | www.afterhoursconsulting.org | |----------------------------------| Secure Web Hosting is available from After Hours.
