You have no idea: one of those times I was without my iBook, it was
gone for an entire months while I waited for a new LCD. Strangely
enough, prior to sending it in, I didn't see anything wrong with the
screen Before I sent it in- it was sent in due to being unable to
power on.
I live in the US, and to apple's credit, all but one telephone rep
have been supportive and patient with me.
Despite the bad luck with this machine, though, I have had amazing
luck with apple machines, and have been thrilled with this machine as
well, except fro the little defects that keep popping up every 6
months or so.
I'll be taking it in this morning, and hopefully get this guy
replaced, but I would rather keep the iBook I have right now and not
have to go through this.

It is outrageous what you have had to go through! If I were you I
would demand that they give you a new iBook, and also to transfer
the contents from your old to the new. The suggestions here about
simply moving the entire HD over would work only if you already run
Tiger - the new iBooks cannot boot in Panther.
I don't know which country you live in, but there must surely be
some public agency protecting consumers right? Somewhere you can
complain - or at least threaten your sellers with? Every country
has some kind of laws governing commerce, or else the market
wouldn't work. Check it out!
And so it begins...
ON the evening before we anxiously await new iBooks to be announced
with dual core yonah processors, my little screen condition has
accelerated, and the screen is approaching being not able to be used.
Fourth time in for this, and since I've had it worked on much, I'm
hoping that rather than simply taking it away from another week or
two that they will simply take the most cost effective option and
just replace it. Oh well, at least I was smart about it and bought
applecare.
Still, I wish I didn't have to go through this hassle and could
simply have the working iBook I paid for.
