Open Mac Surgery
February 25th, 2006I’ve opened up my Mac using a T-9 Torx. The back is off. I’ve blown on it a bit, to clear away the dust. There was a place under the keyboard, when touched, that would cause the behavior that caused it to crash. I assumed the processors was under there, but no it’s the PCMCIA slot, beneith that, there is the Air Port card.
In my search for this processor, I removed the Air Port card. With the computer lying on its side, like a menu left open on a place setting, or a greeting card on a mantle, I’ve booted the PowerBook and it’s sprung to life as a PowerBook should. The touching and jostling that caused it such grief recently, it doesn’t seem to mind.
Put the cover back on the bottom. It minds. It crashes as it has. Now I’m taking it apart further.
