Thanks to everybody who responded on and off list. Despite a fair amount of trying
various things, I haven't been able to get the iBook working, so my friends are going
to be taking it to a shop for diagnosis ($40) and, probably, repairs.

8.0 is too old. You want at least 8.1, and on a 2400 8.6 would be better,
but I personally prefer OS 9.1 myself if you have the RAM.
If you really *do* have OS 9.0 on the drive (probably 9.0.4) and

Did your PB 5300cs come with 16 MB on the motherboard (16 m-board + 32
module = 48 Total)? I thought all the 5300cs models only had 8 MB on the
motherboard (which, when adding a 32 MB card, would give you 40 MB, not 48
MB)?
I don't know if it came with it, or that's what it left the recall

They pretty much say for sure that you can put the active matrix display

you can install the screen from a _5300c_
in a 190cs. This will not increase your color palette (still limited
to 256 colors), but it will make the screen prettier, faster at
refreshing, and have a wider viewing angle

Just an update: it turns out my 5300 had been sent in to Apple twice
before (!!) which was determined when I called Apple to request service
under the Apple Care REA program. Therefore, no more freebies. The

OK, so how would one discover the vram size without a C screen handy? A
utility which could detect the amount of vram present would be ideal. My
