I once swapped out a 700 for a 900. It worked great, at least until the 900 had the same failure. [!] !]'> To my knowledge, the 12 inch g3 iBook boards are interchangeable.

Also, I did see this place that offers "BGA chip reflow", but I haven't had a chance to check it out for sure. They claim that "Our first repaired units have been in operation for over a year with no reoccurrence of the problem", but it sorta sounds too good to believe. Does anyone know more about this type of repair? Anybody actually tried this, or something similar?
