Exactly..... I think Dyna will have quite a problem getting hands on Dell or Compaq service manuals. The only Compaq service manuals I find on the internet are sparse, and the guy wants you to give him money to donate to a charity before he'll give you the manuals. He has: Compaq COMPAQ 140 Monitor English Service Manual Compaq COMPAQ 441 (151FS, SM-5515G) Monitor English Service Manual Compaq COMPAQ 472-1 14"" Monitor English Service Manual Compaq COMPAQ 524 Monitor English Service Manual That'll go a long way towards fixing nothing Compaq has released in the last dozen years. Laptops in general are bad news to take apart unless you know what you're doing. There's a reason that Apple prefers that iBooks and PowerBooks be mailed in to their facility for repairs (and it's not so they can make money off of you; check out their SEC filings sometime, AppleCare is a service organization). -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
