Here is the weird thing... I have seen the key problem (which exists on pretty much every Apple laptop between 1999 through the last couple years), I have seen an airport antenna sliced, but haven't seen the video chip unseating. Of course, it seems like the flaw for the video chip occurred in rev B iceBooks and later. The very annoying thing about the iBook G3 line is that every single rev has some sort of major design flaw, but they never shared the same one very often. I personally don't count the key issue as a major flaw, because I have seen one key break (which was replaced for free), which was on a 3-4 year old iceBook with literally more use than many home desktop machines (4-5 hours a day usage).

Lousy video chip engineering wherein the chip unseats, horrible hinge design constantly slicing ground, power and video cables inside, cheap keyboard prone to breaking keys, and on and on.
