*whimper*, *cringe*, *mewing sound.* That stuff is a bit above my head, and I really don't have that much time to spend on it. :( So, if anyone wants some Duo 2300c parts... -- John B.

You'll want an Ohm meter with fine-tip test probes now. Test for continuity on each end of the ribbon cable. Keep in mind that corrosion may also occur in the junction connector. It is very difficult to clean these things -- you can "scrub" GENTLY by inserting and removing the cable properly into the connector a dozen times. However, if a trace within the ribbon is shot, it can be a bear to repair -- easier to get a replacement. [snip] Good luck, John. Hope you get her working. The ribbon is the first and most likely place to look. ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net! A listserv for users and fans of Mac subportables.
