Your not alone.
Apple are behaving terribly on this issue.
I have been through 3 logic boards this year. My powerbook has spent over 4 months in service being repaired.
I have tried every way to contact Apple Australia via phone, emails, faxes, writing letters they just ignore me. Taking it to an Apple center just get the response its going to cost me $1200 to fix it. I know now 3 times that it will not be fixed.
i am out of warrantee and its still broken and not of my doing. I believe it was the upgrade to 10.4 others have a different view of the reason. Suffice to say it a design flaw.
There is a class action and i urge you to submit you details to the firm handling the issue.
Class Action against Apple.
US Law firm Wolf Popper LLP have just issued a class action against Apple Inc. for all of us who have this problem and Apple refuses to help and acknowledge there is a problem at all.
In August 2005, we filed a class action complaint against Apple Computer, Inc. on behalf of all purchasers of Apple PowerBook G4 laptops alleging defects with the lower memory slot. In October 2005, defendant answered the complaint. There is an initial pretrial hearing scheduled with the Court on January 13, 2006. Prior to that, there is a meet and confer between the attorneys for the parties to discuss scheduling of discovery and other matters.
People with this lower ram slot problem need to register with them and list the specific extent of the problem they are having.
