What componnent did I fry on my 12"?

[rabidz7]

I was runnin' my 12" at 1.67GHz, I had the case open, it was booting. My screwdriver tapped the the part next to the battery with the gold pins that go into the lobo, every thing went black. What is that part called? I need my 12" to go speedy.

Either the G4 or the GPU. I'm going with the G4.

What instructions you used to overclock, found some info myself but just asking?

I however doubt that I will actually try to OC my 12" 1.5GHz as I'm guessing you'll have to disassemble it quite a lot to reach those jumpers or whatever they are called.

It's easy.

Remove top case.
Pop the resistors.
Write traces with conductive paint.

OK, sounds simple
I might have disassemble my machine anyways since it runs bit hotter than I think a G4 should, just received this machine recently and so far I haven't used this more than just checking that it seems to work, only the fan is bit too active and temps still quite high. Cleaning possible dust and replacing thermal paste probably helps.

The part is not on the lobo. It is a separate card in the bottom right.

How about a photograph? That would make it much easier to figure out.

Doesn't matter. You were stressing the G4 already. This just pushed it past its breaking point and it fried.

So you are saying that even with that part replaced it will not work?



I've edited my post to fix the error.

Probably not, you've been stressing that computer far beyond what it was designed to do.

Sounds like the part is the Dc-Dc board from the description of the location. Might as well replace it while you are in there, they are pretty cheap now.
