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

[Jean-Paul Thuot]

Thanks for everyone's input into this discussion.  It has been a 
concern of mine since I bought this iBook (which is a 600mhz, but the 
serial is smack dab in the middle of the range of affected serials).  
I've had it for a couple of months now with no troubles, and before I 
bought it it was a demo and therefore powered on at least 18 hours a 
day for who knows how long?

I would have thought that, were the to be a problem with this one it 
would have happened already, no?

Either way, I am really enjoying my switch to Macintosh.  I will never 
go back to MS.
