Removing G4 MDD logic board?

[kirkbross]

Can anyone point me to a thread or youtube walkthrough for removing a G4 MDD dual 867 logic board? (including how to remove the CPU daughter card).

I have the heat sink off and all my RAM and PCI cards out, but am stuck and don't want to guess.

Ask 666sheep he was able to get me an apple disassembly manual for my g5

I have one. Just give me your email address and I'll send it to you.

Thanks... I got one from 666sheep. Now I'm just trying to figure out a good, inexpensive multimeter to buy to test voltages.

So I got the logic board out and noticed several HUGE clumps of dust underneath, the largest being right under the RAM DIMM slot area.

Could balls of dust short something causing a no boot situation and if so, now that I've cleaned it, should I reassemble the computer and try to power it on again?

Oh yes

I'm in the same situation as Kirkboss. Can someone send me documentation on switching out a logic board on a dual mdd g4?
