I need a logic board for mine. I had it out the other day to try to repair a bad ethernet port and evidently it freaked out the ATI video chip on it, because the display was corrupted and the external DVI port refused to work after that. :p I had just finished loading Mint PPC Linux on it and everything worked except for the ethernet port (which didn't work with OSX either). Since then I've had it apart 3 times trying to find something obvious that may have caused the glitch, but nothing is showing up. So, it looks like it's time to find a logic board since the ATI chip is integrated on it. :p ---- I know it sounds strange, but remove the motherboard, place on wire rack in preheated convection oven at 375 for 20 minutes. ALLOW to cool <in oven for at least 1 hour> before removing. Fixes video probs on lots of HP laptops. ----- No virus found in this message.
