Not to miss the point of this post, but is the iBook still under
warrenty? If so, replacement is free. If not, there are guides
(pbfixit) that give instructions on how to take apart an iBook ( or
any other book). That being said, taking apart an iBook is no small
feat, though it can be done. I've not priced an airport card or
bluetooth module, though both can be found online.
Good luck on whatever route you take, wish I could be more help.

I bought an Ibook so as not to be tempted to muck around in its
innards. Now, its hard drive is fried. TTP4 indicates that
everything else is fine, but not even DiskWarrior has been able to
retrieve anything from the HD. There's nothing irreplaceable on it,
so I figured I'd just replace it. The only local apple service
provider wants $75 JUST TO LOOK AT IT! I'm on disability, so doing
things as cheaply as possible is a necessity. How difficult is it
to get an Ibook open? Once I have it open, what issues do I need to
be aware of in replacing the HD? If I've got the sucker open, I'd
like to drop in an airport card and maybe a blue tooth module, but
I've got to balance total costs of replacement and upgrades against
throwing in the towel and just buying a new Ibook, since the new
ones have airport and bluetooth standard. Any advice appreciated.
peace, love, and joy,
Samantha
