Hi Craig,

I still have a N505X mainboard lying arround here. I once upgraded my
N505X (Cel333) with the mainboard of a N505SN (P-II-400), and I still
have the fully functional and working (100%) maniboard. Mayba you
could buy it from me, and repair your 505 with it? (if ofcourse the
fault was on the mainboard...!)

Let me know! PM me on my emailadress you now have (@orange.nl)
