Hi folks, hope someone can point in the direction of a simple and cost-effective solution. I'm a UK-based web developer/editor and work from home - I have a wired set-up to a router here which provides my BT Broadband connection. I'm on holiday for a week during March and will be staying in an...

I did a lot (and I mean a LOT) of research online today and have come to the conclusion that the whole iBook logic board thing is a crock. It seems that there are many folk out there in the Mac community who have had at least 4 replacement logic boards, most accompanied by some real horror...

Yes, did that a couple of days ago. Indicates everything working OK. Ran DiskWarrior on it yesterday for good measure, repaired a couple of things but that made no difference when I rebooted it.

Have eliminated the RAM - I used to manage a network of Macs but bailed out of that career before OSX came along, which is why I'm fairly clued-up on some things, not so much on others - as you say, easy to remove/replace, but with its basic on-board configuration it didn't do anything any...

rebooted and tried your suggestion (I think I tried this 2 days ago but don't recall the result). It did the Checking thing and then came up with The volume iBook appears to be OK and then went back to the root prompt.

Hi - hope someone can shed some light on this problem. I have a 700Mhz 12" iBook which had 2 replacement logic boards under Apple's replacement program. It had a new hard drive fitted a couple of months ago as the original died, and worked fine for a while (I run an eMac as my main machine with...
