Hmmmph! How timely. First off, let me say that I am having the same problem with my G4 iBook, which, of course, Apple refuses to admit there is a problem with so they won't extend the warranty on those boards... But more on to your subject; my neighbor has a 12 G3 iBook which had it's first

Garry, The looseness you feel on the LCD display is in fact a bad hinge. If you are lucky, it may just be starting to loosen. If this is the case, simply taking the machine apart and tightening the hinge will fix the problem. If you are unlucky like I was the damage will already be done and
