If I was going to send a board out, I'd send it to SoftSolutions. 
Their number is (503) 461-1136.  If you can solder and have a digital
multi-meter, you can buy Larry Pina's book Mac Repair & Upgrade Secrets
and buy the upgrade kit from Softsolutions and put it in yourself (you
get your Mac back working quicker!)
