Thanks for that great advice!

I also hadnt seen your Classic Mac Repair notes before (I'm assuming thats you who wrote them ), and although I havent read right through them yet, they look to be extremely detailed, easy to read and therefore extremely useful - so thanks!

As far as my board, the problem is no video. Powering on the Mac gives the normal bong and the drive reads, so I was hoping it was likely just to be dry joints. I just figured that if I was going to go to the trouble (for me anyway), of pulling it to bits, I might as well give it a service at the same time.

Cheers!
