They actually shipped this out on Monday, and I was set to receive it on Tuesday. It was stuck in shipping hell for a couple of days, but I was finally able to pick it up this morning. It still has yet to be reinstalled with all the software, but so far, it's looking good.
I'm so glad I got Applecare, as replacing the Logic board alone would have cost 600 dollars. Along with replacing the logic board, they also replaced the DVD drive, and the heatsinks and fans of the Powerbook too.
I suspect tonight will be the restoration of the OS and the software.
Update: System 10.3.5 Install Complete. Also noticed they replaced the rubber feet on the bottom, and buffed out the "scar" on the top of my powerbook case. It's pretty much good as new, except for the paint chipping on the lower half.
These are the parts used in making my Powerbook whole again:
- 678-0424A DA MKE CW-8121 8X Slot Combo DVD drive
- 630-3708 P59 Main Logic Board 800 Mhz
- 603-4006 Heatsink/LP/Speaker Wire Assembly, NO HP
- 805-4740 Bracket, Heatsink Hold down
- 603-2102 Fan Assembly, Power Supply, PBG4 (Sunon)
Looking at the prices online, the replacement parts (new) would cost about 1000 dollars. Not quite sure what the NO HP notation by the wire assembly means.
