[Duo2400] Re: Given PB2400c, and I killed it! (GLOD)

[Chuck Kenney]

IT'S ALIVE!

We got the fuses in, replaced the dead 2 amp fuse, and replaced the bottom
of the board pcmcia slot wires (though there is an issue with those, I'll go
in to in a minute).

In short, the fuse and wire replacements fixed the PowerBook, and it runs
great now.

The wire replacement was a little odd, and it seems to have messed up the
bottom PCMCIA/Cardbus slot (it ejects automatically and manually, but
doesn't seem to be reading cards properly).  It either won't read a card at
all, will lock the machine up, or will read it as the wrong item if a card
is inserted into the bottom.  This is a problem to fix for another day.

I have not yet tested a cardbus card in the top slot, as I don't have one
handy.
