I'm not positively sure but based on my previous experience with the replacement of a PC card cage on an older Wallstreet, if I recall correctly, the PC card cage was only that, the mechanical aspect. I don't remember that there was any printed circuit board with it. It was connected to the motherboard with a special connection, so I would think that if any damage has been caused it would be to some chips on the motherboard, unfortunately, and short of replacing the whole motherboard, I'm not sure what you could do... Remember that I did this repair a couple of years ago so I could be wrong... -Laurent. -- ======================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ************************ Usual disclaimers apply *********************** -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
