[iBook] ibook corner cracks and logic board failures

[Pam Sorooshian]

I have had 4 g3's over 2 years --- each has had logic board failures 
multiple times (Apple repaired them each several times and then 
replaced them with an upgraded version). The G3 900 mhz that I now have 
has had the logic board fail once AND this one has developed a crack in 
the front right corner.

I believe that those of us who carry our ibooks around with us a lot 
and use them on our laps and are likely to lift them one-handed are far 
more likely to experience logic board failures than those who leave 
their ibook sitting on a table most of the time.

The problem appears to have something to do with stresses created by 
handling the unit.
