just taking parts out. takes a little time to snake the wires out and put the new ones back in. Straight forward replacement though...
A thought on the MDD power supplies though, I had a second one fail Monday. Only two so far, but both were the last model MDDs made (the 2003 single 1.25GHz non-FW800 ones) and both failed with in a month of each other... Think the PS in those were cheaper than the earlier ones of which we have several (a pair of dual 1.25GHz and a dual 867MHz) none of the early machines power supplies have failed at this point. -sam (after the boss comes back from vacation you may see a late model 1.25GHz MDD G4 for sale... just needs a PS hehe) > > I've been told that the power supply probably needs replacing in my G4 > MMD.
