ChrisT probably had something to with it as I believe every time there is an accident with a macbook, an angel loses his/her wings - and he must be running out of angels by now..
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

A little while ago my daughter's ballet teacher gave me an old G4 Powerbook (A1001 model) as she had spilled a glass of orange juice on it which killed it for sure.  Her brother had had a fiddle about and I could see there were some screws missing so I guess he'd probably made matters worse - if that was even possible. 

Nevertheless, I thought I'd buy a new secondhand mobo off Ebay, and I got one for £20. Today I fitted it and remarkably it worked! Well, sort of, as I hadn't bargained that the HDD was also buggered to it won't boot rather it just hangs with the little folder with the question mark/face blinking away.

It's back to Ebay for a HDD then.
