Also, is there anything stopping you from installing the I/O Board yourself? I haven't researched the matter so I don't know if this beyond home repair.

Comment from another GLOD-victim: if you like your 2400 and intend to keep
it - by all means also have a bigger drive installed.


Shortly after DTT replaced my board my HD gave up. Larry (thanks again!) was
nice enough to let me have his stock drive, and I installed it myself (not
such a big deal if you're methodical and have taken things apart before).
But what I should have done is have DTT install a bigger drive or install
one myself. If you plan to part with your 2400 in any case it's a different
story, but then replacing the board may not be feasible. So there... *g*

oh dear, my 2400c finally got the GLOD

This is a stock 2400 in very nice shape with 80 mb ram and a 10gb
toshiba drive (from ti-book).
i don't have a g3 in it. but i do have a 2nd battery and a nice
wireless card and a dockking staiton for it

DTT , Brian, says he is 99% sure it is the I/O board. I assume this
is the same power I/O board others have had replaced. He says $150
and i should be up and running.
If i had a G3 upgrade to install now would certainly be the time to add one.


Anyone got any G3 upgrades , or any other fixes i can attempt?

It seems to me that if i were to get another of these $300 2400's
from ebay or this list that i would be getting the same old powerI/O
board and not a new one.

ANy thoughts on the viability of this old 2400?
thanks...
Bon
