Peter, It does sound like the infamous video chip problem. There is an easier fix (Google "iBook shim fix") and a harder one that involves soldering (Google "iBook reflow"). You can try to fix it yourself if you're handy enough, or have it professionally done --which usually costs more than the 'book itself. It depends on how attached you are to it.
Personally, I decided to have mine fixed, and it works like a charm now. Best, Felix P.S. Opening it up is a real nightmare. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
