Looks like my processor overheated and fried. I would think the board is still good, but I can’t verify that. Everything else on the system worked perfect. The exterior is blue. I also have a docking bay.
I’m not looking to make out like a bandit, but I would like a fair price on all parts, if possible. I will also guarantee that parts are not DOA. Except the board, which I will sell cheap with no warranty.
Note: the chip is glued on to the board, so removing it would require some excellent dexterity w/ a dremel. Also, to diagnose if the board might also be fried: when the battery and/or power is plugged in, there are still no charging or power lights lit on the front of the system. That might mean that the board is also not functional.
For anyone that is interested, when the system blew, i resorted to my Sony gr370 and then ordered a refurbished panasonic w4.
