 My son's new WS has the same problem, apparently.

 I too am interested in any answers (in case someone might write

It's not that tough, although you will need to completely disassemble 
the PowerBook.  This entails removing the display (not too hard), 
separating the upper and lower cases, and a few other parts (hard 
drive, I think).  I've done this procedure in less than 40 minutes and 
I was being VERY careful.  YMMV.  If you've worked on hardware before 
you shouldn't have any trouble.  Do you have the take-apart 
instructions?

Wallstreet sound card replacement

[Doug Hinschberger]

My boss' WS is showing signs of what appears to be a bad A/C connection on
the sound card. When charger/adapter is plugged in, battery doesn't charge.
Yo-yo adapter from an ibook doesn't charge it either. If they wiggle and
hold the connection they can get it to power up.

Called the local Apple repair store, and they suspect the sound card. I
found some fairly good instructions on the internet for taking the thing
apart, but it appears I'll really need to get into the guts to get to the
sound card.

How tough is it really? What special tools (screwdrivers) might I need? Is
it possible to re-solder cracked connections, or where is a good place to
find an inexpensive sound card?
