Calling all those who have bought a Mac more recently than 2004

So, Mac people! First, does anyone happen to have the restore disks for a Powerbook G4? I find myself unwilling to pay for diagnostics and time on a problem that has a 50% chance of being too expensive to fix (logic board vs. DC-in board), but I can't seem to place my hands on my restore disks to do the hardware tests myself ( Read more... )

The logic board on my g4 is bad, but I have no clue about the restore disks. :(

Yeah, the logic board is the ridiculously expensive one. But I can get the DC-in board for $50 plus shipping, and I found instructions on replacing it on ifixit. But I'm not going to drop the money on the part without knowing it will work. :(

Best part? $359 with a student ID from the Apple site. They're not advertising it heavily; it's on the bottom of the education page. :D
