Hi;
I had a 485 burn up (ad also killed an X310, but that's another story) and believe that the only issue with the 485 is that it needs a replacement CPU. This would be a Celeron 440 coded SLAE9.
But I'm not certain.
I've been through all of the rhetoric about upgrades, but all I want is to get the unit operational if I can do so without spending a fortune only to find out that it issue lies elsewhere and that it isn't practical to get it working..
If you have a known good OEM CPU for a 485/487 and would accept a token payment to wrap it in foil, stuff it into a small bubble wrap envelope and mail it to me (I'm thinking in the $10 range, paid using Paypal, based on prices I've seen on Ebay, but there are none being offered there at the moment) please pm me or, better yet send me an e-mail directly to:

Thanks
