Posting from a basketcase iBook that I have just finished resurecting!
14" iBook that I got literaly in a box as a pile of parts with a dead logic board.
It took me 3 tries but I finally got a working motherboard from eBay. A 900MHz model it of course had the infamous dead video problem but , I have gotten pretty damn good at reflowing the solder with a heat gun and getting the video going again!
It's loaded up with a 60GB HD and 10.4.11, Combo Drive, 512MB stick of RAM and Airport card installed and I am posting from the bedroom as the wife catches up on this weeks soaps!
Whoo Hooo!!!
