Thank you to the many HT members who offered their help. I was able to
recover the files myself, by removing the broken processor card (which I had
previously thought impossible to do without breaking the mother board) and
replacing it with the original Apple processor card. The computer now works
fine, though at its original (slower) speed. Another good reminder why
regular backups are important!
