A friend and I just experimented with putting a good 5300 logic board in a 5300ce whose logic board was dead. Suprisingly -- to us -- it seemed to work when we started it up. The 'Welcome to Macintosh" box looked fine, apparently with blue and black (so not monochrome). But when the "Starting Up" screen should have appeared, the video turned plain white and stayed that way, although the sounds indicated that it was still starting up.
We tried zapping the PRAM, but the same thing happened again. Should the 5300ce work with a 5300 logic board? If yes, what might have gone wrong? If no, why would it work as far as it did? BTW, we put the 5300 logic board back in the 5300. My friend will probably have left town by the time I get a response to this, and it will be a lot more difficult for me to move components around than for him, so I only want to try again if I'm pretty sure it will work. - Aaron -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
