It can be bad but you won't actually see anything. I got lucky with
mine and could se teh fried chip, but most times when a chip blows you'll
see no visible damage.

Good idea. I thought that the 70ct's already had a 120mhz cup. :)

I never had to disassemble my l70 to that extent before. I have a
Toshiba T3200SXC laptop (/huge/ 386 that uses ISA cards) disassembled on my
workbench now. It took me two hours to figure out how to open the bugger
up! Sheesh! Some day laptop companies will design their laptops to have 0
user serviceability and in order to open them up one'll have to have a
special $500 tool to open it.
Blah!!!
