Man.. freakin iBooks..
I bought a deadish iBook G4 off an Arts postgrad for parts.. it was showing the screen mostly in static. I figured it would be worth taking it to get the usual fault repaired at my favourite SMT rework company, AT&M. No more static, but now it has a different problem, where at bootup, the fans go on full blast, and it fails POST. Blah.
The rework fixes the static, but I don't know how to fix the full-blast fans/otherwise dead symptoms. And the rework cost $110.. which was somewhat more than I was expecting.. but I did have them remove the chip, clean, reflux and remount, so not unreasonable I suppose. I'll just get them to heat it up again next time I need one done :P
