Hi Lemmers (and Modders...) Recently inherited an iLamp that had a bad HD ribbon cable (or HD). After several days of routing, rerouting, disassembly, and attempted reassembly I can't get this beast back together. I've stressed connectors and actually sheared a chip off one of my DIMMs trying to work with this machine.
I know the LCD, neck, and PSU are good. Without drives in place the iLamp would chime and light up. I threw in the towel this evening and started real disassembly to see what I could salvage. I cannot vouch for the motherboard at this point. That's probably a lost cause after my rough attempts at reassembly. It's completely disconnected from the top case. The speaker and Panaflo fan have also been removed. I don't think shipping is a good idea for something this oddly shaped, so local pickup is necessary. All the fasteners will be in a bag. Could be a good modding project for a SFF machine if you are handy. Say, $50 or make offer? Thanks, S.
