AppleCare will cover all the apple items listed on the same receipt as 
your computer. Addons are not covered except by the original warranty 
on the  product. You indicated that you purchased the ibook and abs 
separately so the abs is only covered by its original warranty. Since 
it is a graphite, unless you can get the original owner to send you a 
copy of the original receipt showing that it was purchased within the 
last year, its warranty has expired also. Your best bet is to check 
locally to see if anyone can do the repair for you. If not, there are 
webpages posted on how to replace the capacitor if that is the problem. 
There is also a small online business that repairs the abs for you. I 
don't have the url on the ibook, i will try to find it and post it or 
you can google for airport base station repair. This url has some info 
about abs problems other than the capacitor:
