[Coco] in need of parts

[tfadden]

Yes  I have herd of that.  I was in the field service business for 43 
years.  Some times it was a good idea, some times you end up with two 
bad parts.  I had a stock of parts, so not a big deal. When parts are 
limited/rare, it's not such a good idea. You could also blow out the 
part you plug in if there is something wrong with the board...

Also You are still gonna end up with one bad system board.  Just seems a 
bad idea to me.  JMO though.

Good luck!

Tim
