G'day folks,

I have a G4 ibook that has all of a sudden lost both USB ports. Everything was working fine and then all of sudden both of them are dead as a doornail... I suspect the better half has been a little heavy handed when disconnecting the USB keyboard however...

.... the local Mac place quoted me $1200 for a new motherboard!!!!.. So now I face the dilemma of buying a new imac/book for a few hundred dollars more and then keeping the ibook as a non-usb 'puter..

Anyone else found a different fault that may not require a new motherboard?

Thanks in advance

Andrew :o)
