I have honestly not loved a laptop more than this Pismo. Simply looking at it just gets me nostalgic. Ever since I first used a random Mac in 2001 or so (running OS 8, at school, for some edutainment game), I've been attracted to them. 11 years later, I've got 6 genuine Macs (one Intel) and a Hackintosh, as well as a few PCs. I love em all, even my PCs, but there's something about this Pismo...

Its the perfect weight, it still has style, its expandable like nothing else, accessible like nothing else, high quality, great design, and especially with my G4 in it, amazingly fast and usable. Hopefully, when it starts booting again, I'm going to load Tiger on it. Get a new battery, and use it more. It's totally worth that. My other computers just don't friggin compare. This is how I wish all my laptops would be like.

But, yes. I'll go ahead and grab a logic board then. Then I'll start disassembling.

I've looked on ebay for a good 'parts' Pismo, but they all seem to be working and wanting decent money for 'em. IDK, if I ever get this working again, that will be a future plan.
