Good news and bad news
GOOD NEWS: I got my PowerBook back and its logic board is nice and WORKING. I’ve also upgraded the hard drive myself with no major problems (okay, so I dropped the hard drive once BUT IT STILL WORKS).
BAD NEWS: I somehow put the keyboard back in CROOKED and now I can’t get it back out to straighten again. I bent a small part of the keyboard needlessly… remember to remove ALL the screws securing the keyboard before attempting to move it (including the one in the RAM compartment… arghh). Also, migrating from the old iBook was a BAD idea (apps keep crashing… probably because I optimized everything for a G3 processor and it’s kinda freaking out on the G4). Must now reinstall Tiger for the THIRD time… in the morning. I think tiredness trumps caring right now.
