I'm entertaining the possibility that there's something minor going wrong on the computer board. I'm no stranger to computers. I didn't manage to remove it from the case, removed every screw, the sliding black plastic part, pulled the connectors. It yielded so much resistance when I tried to pull it out. I got it out between 1/4 - 1/2" and was afraid to go any further w/o asking someone. Should I just keep pulling as hard as it is?
I think the microprocessor is made by Bosch. Are the rest of the chips, however many there are, standard off the shelf stuff? If anyone knows. Thanks in advance.
