That's what prompted my question. Ordinarily, I'd unplug an electrical
device before examining the entrails, but I recall several sources that
suggested leaving a computer connected: the exposed voltages are
harmless, and a solid ground is a convenient ESD path. Some memory &
processor upgrades even included an inexpensive ground strap.
I look forward to learning the outcome of your "transplant".
Michael sagely recalled the diagnostic apothegm, "When you hear
hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras." You've got hoofbeats _and_
stripes; well, horizontal ones anyway. :-)
