Hey everyone!
I repaired a friends Ibook G3 800mhz by replacing the logic board with a tested board from ebay. Seems to be working fine and dandy, however I know enough about these Ibooks to know this will probably not last. I read some place that some Ibook users resorted to using software to control the internal fans, keeping the board cool and prolonging the life of their laptops.
The only Ibook I ever owned was a broken one, so using a working model is a unique experience. Does anyone have any advice? I realise the logic board could be reflowed, but given the value of the Ibook, it's cheaper to buy a working model off ebay.
