Many thanks again Bruce & Malcolm. Sounds like the cost may not be too horrific? That brings me to another Q before I hit the Internet/Yellow Pages---might anyone happen to have a recommendation for a reasonably priced G3/Wallstreet repairer within the city of Chicago (not the suburbs--I don't have wheels), or failing that, a mail-in repair company? (I did come across one on the net that sends you the box, picks up and gives you an estimate for $79, but I didn't keep the name and now can't find them again). I have seriously thought about attempting it on my own, after looking at the reassuring pbfixit site & guides--it would save $$$, plus it's tempting to test my skills or lack of them in a live-dangerously sort of way. But knowing how inexperienced I am, common sense prevails--I really need to get someone experienced to do it as time is of the essence. Thanks again! I really appreciate it! Kerry
