ibook G3 - GPU removal

2009-12-29 Thread Brian Arsenault
Hi everyone, I have an iBook G3 Dual USB that has the infamous logic board problem. I've tried reflowing the GPU a couple of times with moderate success, but over time the problem recurs. I've given up on this approach. I'm considering removing the GPU altogether, but I am unsure if the system
