I did go through and reheat all the solder points that looked safe do
do so :) on one of my pb100's, to no avail.
Shipping one across the country did resurrect it for a few months, so
it could be a simple hot point/ loose connection thing.
Pack it in a box, UPS ground from Seattle to Oklahoma, may be the
hard way to get a temp fix :)

I was the guy who posted on the caps, and to be
honest, I gleaned that from Applefritter (plus another
site; don't remember which). To be honest, just not
too sure.
We may need to look at the logicboard carefully and
see if anything may have become unseated or looks odd
(easy task... yeah, right). That's the only thing I
can think of doing at this point.

The list was down so we probably missed the follow
up.
I did some testing. These are the results:
a_known good LCD + bad MoBo 1 = no backlit
b_known good LCD + bad MoBo 2 = no desktop &
contrast at max level
c_known good LCD + bad MoBo 3 = the PB starts up
as soon the
adaptor is plugged and then have the symptoms of
MoBo 2.
Is there anything we can do on these aging MoBos?
That's what I saw with my bad PB100 testing. Back
when the pb100
mailing list thru Stanford? was still up, a couple
people didn't
think that was right (i.e. possible :) , but it
repeated for me and
now also for you.
The post here about the 6? 8? leaky caps in the
display is the most
definitive thing I've ever heard about it. sorry it
doesn't track to
the display in our cases at least.
