I just found that my PowerBook G3 (Lombard)'s sound board fried! No sound from speakers, no sound from sound port in the back, no sound when resetting PRAM. Anyway, I'm considering two options - the cost of fixing (one quote is $200 for the part and $90 for labor) or the cost of buying another PowerBook (floor models and used models TOTALLY acceptable). I don't know about the new iBooks yet as I've had limited exposure to them and I know I don't want the TiBook because of its delicate nature.
I just upgraded my current PowerBook with a 40 Gb hard drive, a PC slot Airport card (Orinoco Gold) and it has 320 Mb RAM. It's running quite well at 400 Mhz (Mac OS X 10.1.5) so the lack of sound is the only problem. I really don't want to spend over $1400 for a replacement if I don't have to.
