Good suggestion. I woke up my Pismo this morning and I was able to move the trackpad sligthly (2) but then it stopped responding. Weird... -Laurent. Have you checked the cable connection at the trackpad? It may have worked itself loose - what you are describing sounds a bit like heat causing

AFAIK, Lombard can run Panther. But getting a PMU Down Under, I don't know. Installing is not a bad idea, if you're capable. Depends on your budget. Did 'they' offer you a trade-in - I'm guessing not? Check in Aussie land if there's a used Mac dealer or private seller. Compare the costs. George
