Fantastic resource. Thank you so much. I joined scribd just to comment and thank you for this manual. It saved me diving into the Machine to try and removed the tip of a plug in the earphone jack that has rendered Mac silent. I was going to fix it myself but see that there is no way to push the plug tip out as there is no access to inside the jack as in other electronic gear. The local shop wants 80 for the board and 80 to put it in. If applecare don't do it, I will have them replace the board all because of a broken plug tip. Sheeesh.
