Hi...

Apple have extended their iBook logic board repair program

How does Apple define a "component failure" for this program?
The Updated iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program covers iBooks that have a particular component failure on the logic board, resulting in the computer starting up but the built-in and attached external displays exhibiting one or more of the following symptoms:
        *        Scrambled or distorted video
        *       Appearance of unexpected lines on the screen
        *       Intermittent video image
        *       Video freeze
        *       Computer starts up to blank screen
[...]
The program is available for iBooks with serial numbers in the following range(s):

 UV220XXXXXX to UV342XXXXXX

 iBooks with the serial numbers listed above may be referred to as:
        *        iBook (16 VRAM)
        *       iBook (14.1 LCD 16 VRAM)
        *       iBook (Opaque 16 VRAM)
        *       iBook (32 VRAM)
        *       iBook (14.1 LCD 32 VRAM)
        *       iBook (800MHz 32 VRAM)
        *       iBook (900MHz 32 VRAM)
        *       iBook (14.1 LCD 900MHz 32 VRAM)
I paid for an eligible repair before the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program began. Will Apple reimburse me for the cost of the repair? Yes. Apple will reimburse customers with eligible iBooks for the cost of repairs covered under this program, and will pro-actively contact affected customers where Apple has their contact information.

Is the Updated iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program available for other Apple computers?
 No. This program applies to those systems noted above.
