Re: is my iBook screwed
So the part that says: The program is available for certain iBook G3 models (see below for a complete list) with serial numbers in the following range: UV117XX to UV342XX Means what??? My understanding is that now, it means very little, except that maybe it'll exclude boards that have already been replaced. That range of serial numbers have gradually been increased as they have added earlier and earlier models to the list of those cover by the REP. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: is my iBook screwed
Goodness, it's quite clear. I saw the earlier post and checked my Serial Number by clicking on the Aqua Apple Menu/About This Mac. When the little box opens right under the Apple Logo and where it says Mac OS X beneath that it says 'Version 10.3.8' click on THAT then it will say build number, click again and it will give you your serial number. Mine is UV4466X (I didn't give the entire serial number), so obviously it is not in the range and the problem does not apply to mine. If you in the range below, then you are covered.what could be simpler?

Re: is my iBook screwed
If moving or squeezing the display corrects or worsens the problem its probably the display ribbon. There is a recall for G3 iBooks, see the Apple site for details. John Sigh, the day I am off on holidays my faithful G3 iBook seems to have developed terminal symptoms. The screen has developed thin horizontal black lines and there is a ghosting effect going on at the same time. The whole computer is frozen. I noticed this happened when I picked up the laptop and had gently squeezed above and below as I was carrying it. Please tell me it is something simple and that Apple will fix it grin! Pat ;) p.s. I can restart and it will work occasionally but the minute I touch it then all hell breaks loose. -- QUOTE OF THE DAY: If stupidity got me into this mess, than why the hell can't it get me out? -- The difference between genius and stupidity is genius has its limits. - Albert Einstein -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I have a friend who just received her's back, no charge. You problem sounds like it may fit the program. The program just passed the last day for any iBook but IIRC you can still get it fixed for free if it's less than two years since date of purchase.

Re: is my iBook screwed
http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/ Mine did that. Very un-nerving experience. Find out if your serial number matches the range in this kb article. If so, call Apple and arrange a dispatch. They will send you a box via DHL overnight. You box it up and send it off. It'll be back inside three days. And you'll get a new logic board to boot. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sigh, the day I am off on holidays my faithful G3 iBook seems to have developed terminal symptoms.
