Help bringing i-Opener back to life (mostly there now....)

Ugh, here's what's going on with me.

I've not been around the last 2 years or so. I had this i-Opener that I was working on upgrading to use a K62-450 cpu. I'm at work right now, otherwise I'd post pics, but I did a pretty sad job of soldering back then, and I never did completely finish.

I still have the original CPU, I still have the K62-450.

I really don't care which CPU it uses in the end, but I'd like to get this thing back together and running linux, as I'm just going to use it as a thin X-Terminal off my iMac downstairs.

I'm just wondering if there's anyone here that if I show them the pics of critical locations if I could either be told what needs to be put back, or if there's someone that would be willing to go about fixing it up to take the 450 CPU (or I even still have a K6-3 450+ sitting around that can clock to 550 if I remember right...) and get it fired up for me.

I just don't have time to mess with it, so it's either pitch it or fix it. I'd like to fix it....anyone up to helping me out?

I almost forgot! The reason I say 'mostly there now' is that I did get a post screen a couple of times last night when I tried to fire it up with the 450 inserted. It wouldn't begin the boot cycle, but there most certainly is still life in this machine. :)

Kthx. I'm hoping someone can help me out.
