The iBook can be a PITA to repair, depending on the part that needs to be replaced. I can't speak for the AlBook, but probably the same story.

I've had enough experience with the clamshell iBooks that they're not too bad. The Powerbook, on the other hand... . It's gotten that I know that thing (and other models related to it) inside and out. I must've taken apart that other PowerBook (12" 867 MHz) a thousand times at least!
Anyway, I am anticipating that this will be uneventful; I will replace the lower case and logic board, and all will be well.

The iBook is different because the parts seem to be a tad harder to find, for some reason, Since it appears to be working, I will repair the DC jack, clean it up as best I can, throw in a hard drive, and keep an eye out for a better looking example to put on display:



Besides a more presentable looking Indigo, I only have to get the other Graphite (with FireWire), and a Key Lime to complete my collection.
