[P1] iBook Logic Board Repair (formerly iBook G3)

[Samantha Cornell]

I have an iBook, 500 mhz...that definitely has a faulty logic board, 
and other than having a d=serialnumber outside of the rane of covered 
iBooks, is a textbook example of the iBook logic board problem.

Of ourse, it i not covered, and as a "starving" college 
student/mother/wife of a teacher, we cannot afford the repair.   To 
date, the best solution seems to be diligently making sure that the 
battery never dies...We want to add more RAm, but don't dare shut down 
to add the RAm...it seems that shut downs and starts only exacerbate 
the problem...

I'm definitely on board with anyone wha wants to see apple extent the 
serial number range..we've tried it all!
