Forgot to add a picture : this is the one or another one that I found, though a bit slower : 200 Mhz one

Framiga : 1st, let´s say that desoldering is the easiest problem to fix. That will probably take less than a minute without damaging anything at all  :-)
2nd, a CSPPC card already has got a 604 PPC so what is the difference with the 604 that the Mac uses ??? :-?
3rd, sorry for my limited technical knowledge, but what is a BGA cpu ?? Has it got a different size than the one in the MK3 ???  :-?

So you can not fit a PPC processor to a Cyberstorm MK3 that only has got a 060 or 040 ???
And even if the Cyberstorm MK3 has got a 150 Mhz PPC on it, can´t you replace that by a faster one ???

Framiga : the guy that I think is able to fix it uses a professional hot air thing  :-)
