Rebuilding iMac G3 PAV traces (model 661-2370)

[brian4120]

Hey all,

I'm currently working on bringing a brutally decommissioned iMac G3 DV/SE back from the dead. Short version is someone drilled through the logic board in multiple places and one hole extended through the PAV board near IC904 (Looks like a 12v LDO.) The logic board is a lost cause and I already bought a replacement.

Fortunately it looks like the only damaged component may be a ceramic capacitor but otherwise the PAV got very lucky. I was hoping to get either a picture or schematic of a model 661-2370 PAV (for LG CRTs) so I can rebuild the traces.

Thank you!

PAV top and bottom pics attached. Bonus logic board gore for the morbidly curious.

Not sure if you have sorted this out already or moved on, but here is an image of that section of a good board. Looking at your damaged photo and the board in front of me, I think it should be pretty straightforward to bodge. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Thank you kindly! I was going to try reverse engineering the section of the board but I haven't had the time to sit down and do it. This should get me going! I'll be sure to update this thread when I have more to show!
