But dealing with the logic board will require both knowledge and the facility to use the correct solder techniques. It's not like the old days.
Ok, so now I'm concerned.
I'd suggest that in all likelihood Antony doesn't need to resolder the machine, get a new motherboard, or even wave rubber chickens around.
First, try booting the machine with an external monitor. If that works, boot it into 9 and install the firmware patch.
Alternatively, if you feel comfortable with it, disassemble the machine so that you can access the reset switch on the logic board, and press it. It's a small circular rubber button inside o square housing. A picture of a similar reset button on a different model of machine is located at
