Well, I have been a tech for way too long, so I do remember the days when we
used soldering iron's. I do have a US military spec certification for that
kind of work, so the re-attachment doesn't scare me too badly. I guess what
I'm really wondering is if it has successfully been done or does everyone
just send them into Apple. Is it likely the board has been damaged?
thanks
