Getting to the heatsink on a Wallstreet isnt difficult, but it is more work than would be on a TiBook.
1) Remove Both bay devices 2) Release the keyboard latches located in the bays (one in each) 3) Flip the keyboard over onto the trackpad to reveal the 'guts' of the wallstreet 4) remove a philips head screw located in the middle of a metal panel (there may be a second screw holding this panel in The wallstreet's HS was originally attached by a thermal pad (think styrofoam) if this pad has disintegrated and is no longer attached to the processor, you will probably want to find an alternative method of attaching the sink. Also, you said you reset the PRAM, i had strange problems with my wallstreet when the PRAM battery died. It would only boot on AC power the first time and then you could shut it off and restart on battery if you desired, but if you lost battery power at all (ie, if the battery went to 0% or was removed) you would have to reattach to AC to restart it. The reason I mention this is because when first started on AC power, the fan would activate and go through a more lengthy startup procedure than normal. The fix for this was buying a new PRAM battery. In summary I would check: 1) The heatsink 2) The PRAM battery 3) CPU card contact Sorry for being so lengthy -Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
