Thanks for your reply. No burnt smell. Not sure on the 240/120 jumper - the label on the back of the computer says 120. I'll have to dig it out and have a closer look. My experience with circuit boards is pretty limited past recapping... Any advice on where to start before I hit YouTube how to...

Was it the plus in chch that your talking about that went for over 300 bucks? Seems a bit excessive for an untested plus with battery leakage... Crazy

Hi Have a performa 580CD here that wont start - no fans, no chime, no hard drive noise etc. Reccaped it, made no difference. However, if the logic board is removed the fan will start up (obviously not a lot else happens). Anyone came across this before? Been collecting macs for a while and...
