Back from the dead!
I just thought I'd share a short resurrection tale with the board since my wife didn't understand why I was so happy about it...I decided to dig out a megatouch ion that had been in a warehouse fire to see if there were any parts I could use, turns out pretty much all of them!
The cabinet was melted, all the cooling fans were melted, and the touchscreen glass was cracked. I pulled all the parts, replaced the fans with spares, reseated everything and fired it up.
Good to go! No touchscreen hooked up to the controller for obvious reasons since I yanked out all the broken glass from the LCD frame but it booted completely detecting all the force hardware and had 2008.5 on the drive to top it all off! No I can upgrade my current machine with newer force software I guess
