If Apple no longer wants your family's business I would start looking for another similar iBook with other failed parts like a display. Given that a new 1.2 gig iBook goes for $900 at amazon.com I wouldn't spend more that $700 for a working 1.0 gig one and half that for one that needs repairs. After your done swapping parts you'll have a working iBook and lots of bits left over for future repairs... and the satisfaction of denying Apple the opportunity to gouge you again!
BTW, my problem Pismo is sorta working after I put some fresh heat sink paste on the processor- it managed a whole day without freezing! I'm also in the market for another Pismo, dead or alive, within a day's drive of Minneapolis.
