The logicboard is fine, using it in another mac desktop, might be the onboard powersupply which might be junk, the replacement fan came from a working LC580 thats parts. Maybe this one has gone sour also. These macs were found outside in a barn, so they were exposed to moister extreme cold temps. I did take the LC580 apart its metal chassis was very rusted, the others are fine. But it did get that hot, just lucky it didnt catch fire.
