Hello masters and gurus,
I just purchased a dual 500 G4 Gigabit Ethernet tower from a friend with a fried logicboard. the replacement board is already in the mail, but I would like to find detailed installation instructions. Anybody have a good link, pdf, already done it and documented it with pictures and tips? Any and all help appreciated.
thanks again,
Mac on.

I have an 11.6MB PDF (Apple Service Source) that shows how to completely disassemble a PM G4 AGP Graphics, Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio, QuickSilver, QS 2002, QS 2002ED, PCI Graphics, and Server G4. I can e-mail it to you if you give me your e-mail addy.

thanks all for the advice.
the logic board install went smooth as silk. Not dificult at all with the manual, just go slow and be careful. Less than an hour, all told.
the only problem is that the power supply seems to be bad, not the board. .

all the best
