okay okay

thanks for your help

If you need help finding one I can, but not right now I'm afraid

RS or Farnell will probably be your best bet though maplin might do it?

aye was talking to DRZ about it, hopefully we'll be able to make do with the one in there

Yeah if it's not snapped there's no reason why not. Of course taking the mobo out will make it a LOT easier

If that's the case then that's fine. You have to be able to clear our the solder holes you see, and get to bottom side of the PCB for the solder point - just trying to make DRZs life easier

I have taken laptops apart and yes I always end up with a gazillion screws that I've forgotten to put back in

The only thing that is mildly concerning is the possibility of surface-mount resistors close enough to become desoldered when fixing this socket.

If they come off, its game over

DRZ is offically a Legend I'm typing this from my newly installed iBook

So he popped over and did it? Nice one

So far, usb port 2, ethernet and the firewire 400 port all work ok but USB port 1 seems to be acting a little odd
