Thanks for the responses, guys.

I'd hate it if my G4 is dead. But after looking at some pictures of the logic board online, it seems that the only place the controller could be IS on the daughtercard...darn.

I'm smack dab in the middle of exams, so doing anything isn't feasable for a few days. However, I am more inclined to try out a new daughtercard before going to logic boards. They're easier to ship around, so maybe I can get one of those faster.

The more I think about it, I don't think having a G3 should make a difference. Since I got my Titanium I don't do video work on it anymore, and for notes and internet, a G3 should suffice. I'd glady accept the help, but I would hate to wreck someone else's computer. I found a G3 400Mhz Pismo board with new heatsink for just a few bucks on ebay. I'll try and get that in a few days. If it doesn't turn out, then I'd be happy to get this to any of ou, if you'd like it.

At least I know where I need to go, now.
