Sorry in my attempt at brevity I managed to lose all coherence - blame the ale ! I was trying to say, why pay that much for a repair - you could buy a couple of complete ones for that price ?!! > B: I had no clue that there was no PMU on the Lombard. Thanks for telling me. Well, there is no PMU board, there is a power board under the trackpad, so I guess it is that one, a pretty cheap and easy to replace part. > C: I know how easy it is to remove a HD on a Lombard, and I've > rebuilt a PB 190 from parts, so I know how to do that stuff. You were concerned about sending the machine away with all your stuff on it, I was pointing out that it is a 10 second job to remove it on a Lombard, probably easier than any other Powerbook, so there is no need for that worry. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
