Need help identifying an iBook...

Over time, the heat/cool cycles of the computer warming up during use and cooling off when not in use would crack the solder.

I'd bet that physical abuse was a bigger cause of failure of a cold solder joint.

Could be. That's certainly more our experience (if my analysis of changing the case I used with my iBook is valid). I very rarely carried that iBook anywhere except closed, to and from the case.

That is one huge advantage of the unibody Macs. The ones I have looked at are far stiffer than anything I can remember over the last 8 years or so. I hope it makes them a lot more dependable over time.
