Took the iBook to the local fixit shop. They looked at me and said it
would be less expensive for me to find a CL replacement. I suspect
they just swap out parts, not really in depth repairs.

The logic board is a work of art, very dense very tiny components,
surface mounts. Not sure it would be possible to do that without
some extremely good technique and tools, and even then.

I ordered a Left I/O Board and put it in, and the Macbook lives!
Lots of little fiddly bits, screws and connectors and such, but
got it back together, hit the power button and it came to life!
Apple charges $1200 for that surgery, a cash payer like me got a
part for $90 and spent maybe 4-5 hr on the thing. I might become
Dr Mac.

So I just finished tearing apart the girl child's MacBook that
the cat knocked a glass of water over into. I followed the
instructions from ifixit, took out the main logic board which
looked fine. The guy at the apple store suggested the power
input board might be kaput so I took that out too, and lo, there
was all the crap under it and the board was completely nasty,
oxidized, schmutzed-up. You could see where the liquid was,
probably shorted in there or something. I'll clean it all out
before reassembling. They had replacements for $90 so ordered
one, will see if that makes it go again. Whole teardown was like
2hr, the instructions are extremely good, and worth paying them
for the part. Lots of extremely fiddly little bits in there, I
might need to get some tiny fingers to put it back together
though. Great web site.
