In the process of dis-assembling the machine and re-assembling is, you may want to use a rubber to clean the contacts on the RAM and various boards. I use one of those white rubbers for pencil, remeber to remove the dust before you put the card in the machine. While assembling the CPU do not forget the thermo paste between the CPU and the heat skin, do not over use it, a thin layer is enough. You can check the CPU by shorting the light green and light blue wires from the main connector (that would be 2nd and 4th from one end; but colour are always light green 2nd and light blue 4th so far I have seen), see if the fan on the power unit turn on. Be carefull, while this is only 2 or 3 volts, your are delaing with a unit connected to the main power. paper clip is a good way to do the test. Good luck, Olivier
