I got a batch of Pismo guts on eBay and now have the hard drive ribbon and cage, EMI shield, and five, count'em, five modems, of which only one has scorch marks. :
I have a PRAM battery and hard drive. Now I'm just waiting for the processor and heat shield combo to get here, and I'll be able to see if the rest of it works! Don't know if I will be getting an Airport card, or just use my wireless-G PCMCIA card.
The Lombard in the batch will be getting a screen transplant from one that has a good screen but bad sound/power card. I figure that's simpler. I plugged in the processor/RAM from the powerless one and the new one bongs but the screen is abstract art.
Later I'll be trying out the Wallstreets, but they can wait.
Does anybody know something that's good to recondition the plastic? Apparently there was a sticker to the right of the trackpad on the Pismo that somebody scrubbed off with something rough, and now there's a scuffed patch. I was thinking maybe Armor-All?
