Recently got a G4 iBook from freecycle ... it had the solder cracking issue. Guess the person who had it didn't know how to fix it, although they did figure out how to take the hard drive out (and leave it mostly disassembled as well).
Anyway, after a couple minutes with the soldering iron and a freecycle 40GB drive and extra 256mb RAM module, I now have a perfectly functioning G4 iBook. And it came with the airport extreme card and internal bluetooth too!
