Mathis, once again you are right on the money. Your description of the
problem is exactly what I have (how it sounds when I shake the pb). I
guess the only solution is going to be that I will have to learn to take
the pb apart myself.
So, can anyone suggest a site, book, instructions, etc., that I can
access in order to learn how to take this thing apart. The computer is a
Powerbook 2400c (I mention the model of my comp because Mathis mentions a
problem (see below) with a 2400 and then he refers to a 2400c).
Thanks,
Pedro.
