You know...it's funny that you posted this message.
I have a 2001 iBook G3 700 (it was the higher end of the two models being offered at the time, the other model being a 600MHz machine, with a CD-ROM, as opposed to mine with a burner).
After many years of faithful service, I think it has succumbed to the notorious 'logic board' problem.
Day before yesterday, as I attempted to wake it from sleep, there seemed to be no response (the screen was dark, but I could sense the HD was spinning). After restarting a couple of times (by removing power), and getting no where, on a whim I decided to press down on that area to the left of the track pad. Sure enough, the screen would flicker with strange patterns, then go off again as soon as I let up on the pressure.
Don't know if Apple has an extended repair program still going for this issue. I'm gonna take it by a local Apple authorized service center. We'll see where this goes...any suggestions?
