Well when that happened to my 3400 I just had to solder the contacts where the power adapter plugs in to the logic board. ...but... I don't know if I'd recommend taking apart an icebook that far. I had a G3/800 iBook that had the logic board failure after the one year warrenty ended but before they issued the recall. Before the iBook I never bothered getting Apple Care because I fixed anything that went wrong myself. I had never totally disassembled an icebook so figured since it was dead I might as well give it a shot. Ended up having to drill and use an easy out on the bottom middle screw on it which though it worked left obvious scuffing. After tearing that thing apart I promptly ordered a new G4 iBook and got the Apple Care. I didn't even bother attempting to put that sucker back together. I just shrinkwrapped all the screws and parts in case I ever got another one and needed a battery, keyboard, display or other items that would be easily replacable. Of course then a month later Apple does the recall and it now covers my shrink wrapped bundle of G3 iBook. By that time I was humming along nicely on my G4 iBook and didn't want to attempt to put that jigsaw puzzle back together again. I'm die hard Apple Care now with the newer stuff. Though I'll still perform surgery on my 3400 or iMacs in a heartbeat ;-D -- Matt aka HamletUSMC http://www.geocities.com/hamletusmc/ PowerBook 3400, Bondi iMac, Blueberry iMac -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
