PB G4 Replacement Logic Boards - 2008/06/30 20:08 We have 15" PB G4 1Mhz FW800. The logic board got zapped in a line surge or something last summer - usb and ethernet are dead. We put in a AE wireless card and got by for a while.

Now the lower ram slot is toast and it won't boot successfully.

I see logic boards on ebay from time to time but rarely for the 15" 1Mhz edition. Most are for later 1.33, 1.5 and 1.67 speeds.

Does any one know if any of these boards fit in the case of the 1Mhz PB G4?

Thanks very much!

Re:PB G4 Replacement Logic Boards - 2008/07/18 17:26 doesnt look like it, ifixit shows the mb for the 15 in 1 ghz working with the 1/1.25 ghz ones and a different mb for the 15 in 1.33/1.5 ghz ones.

Ouch.... You can probably replace the Powerbook for that !

Ifixit has them for $500, DVwarehouse has the board for $600 !

Personally, I would buy another Powerbook and sell the broken one as a parts machine.

There is at least one on eBay now listed for $229 starting bid or $289 buy-it-now.
