Successful logic board transplant yesterday...took me about two hours all told, and it would have taken less, but I put the lower case back together and then realized that I had left out the alum shield that sits over the ports in the rear. I am now in the process of upgrading that transplanted HD to 10.4.11 and all the necessary Java updates, getting Camino 10.6 back up and running, etc.

I was momentarily tempted to leave it running 9.2.2 for a while, but it wouldn't recognize the internal Airport card, just the pop-in Orinoco one that I use for my Lombard.

It was really quite a bit easier than I thought...now I will have to get that one with a cracked top case reworked, since I know how to pop the screens out now.

Thanks again for all of the help and advice...one more Pismo, back in service!
