Took the iBook to the local fixit shop. They looked at me and said it

I wish more of them were like the Pismo, though -- most of what you

So I just finished tearing apart the girl child's MacBook that the cat
knocked a glass of water over into. I followed the instructions from
ifixit, took out the main logic board which looked fine. The guy at the
