Well, earlier today I was trying to install a hard drive on my B&W 350 when it slipped out of my hands...and you guessed it, directly onto the logic board. The drive is fine, naturally. Is the board? I have no idea.
Since I have no Apple-branded keyboards/mice, I've been turning it on using the switch on the front and using a supposedly compatible Logitech MX Duo to work with it. It booted normally a couple of times before the graphics began to get fuzzy and the mouse began to act funky. I was able to get it to drop into the desktop a couple of times. Removing PCI cards and video, I reseated everything but the processor.
Now the darn thing won't even turn on. I hit the switch and the fans spin, the drives spin up, but no picture sent to the drive. I've tried resetting CUDA, swapping out the battery, reseating RAM, trying one stick of memory in a single slot, etc.
Is it time for me to shop for a new logic board, and if so, is there somewhere I can pick up one cheap? Besides eBay?
