So I messed up my logic board while replacing it back in after extensively cleaning the green wax Apple called thermal transfer material. This was about a week ago, didn't do anything about it because I got it working, but it's still somewhat malfunctioning.
in my stupidity I took off two surface-mount ICs clean off the board, solder pads unharmed. one was definitely a resistor and I replaced it, causing the mac to boot once more. the other one I have no apparent clue, but it might also be a resistor. I fixed them with some ICs off a dead graphics card. Not really good practice, but I was desperate. It's right next to it, and the location of them is underneath the RAM slots, making me wonder if this is why the bottom RAM slot is not showing up any longer. I miss having more than 512MB of RAM at my disposal, so I need this fixed.
Can someone give me either a scan of, or a good, sharp picture of the underside of an original TiBook G4 400MHz or 500MHz logic board, if they have one around? it would help me a great deal in finding out if I placed the correct IC in its place (which is probably not... We shall see, though.) I can't find a good scan or one of good quality to not make another assumption that may jepoardize the functionality of this thing.
so I ask that if someone has a spare or something, to please be a kind soul and give me some nice, big images of its underside. Specifically, the middle of the board under the RAM slots.
Thank you very, very much in advance!
