mi iBook esta muerto

Greetings from Ecuador!  Here I am, hundreds of miles from home, and my Mac is dead.  Sometimes, it starts up, but the screen never comes on.  And if the screen does come on, the display freaks, freezing the computer and producing these weird lines on the screen.  Can anyone verify that this a problem with the logic board?  Based on my serial number, I may be eligible for a free replacement.  But I opened the case once, so they might not like that.

WMD:
If it's an iBook G3 and it's dead...it's the logic board.  Period.

Rememeber, Apple knew that the ATI boards were dead about a month after they started shipping them. So what did they do? Kept putting them on new models until the iBook G4 came out.

WMD:
Not to mention that GayTI made dead video boards for two years...

hm_murdock:
Yeah. There was a whole lot of not giving a shit about bunk hardware. I guess Apple was probably stuck, having bought thousands of them.

Doesn't excuse ATI for making a faulty product, and then supplying Apple with identical, also faulty parts to replace the broken ones, or Apple for continuing to include known faulty parts in new models.
