Hello,
I have a PMG4 in dire need of a new CPU seemingly. Whenever it boots it claims external cache failure and oftentimes reports an incorrect cpu speed, and most of the time it doesn't boot into OpenFirmware even. RAM has cleared many a Hardware Tests and nothing has pinged as faulty. So I put the machine aside until today when I noticed an eBay listing for a FastMac upgrade card for a couple hundred bucks.
Before I commit to such a replacement, I have heard that someone does 2GHz CPU repairs/units but they're only on the 68kMLA forums. Has anyone dealt with them before and do they still do repairs? Are there other options out there?
