My mom's iBook G3 800 was recently the victim of a spill, incapacitating the battery, and rendering the track pad quite sticky, and only getting worse. Since it was a spill, neither of these are under warranty.
Now, the guy fixing it quoted $130 for battery, $130 for top segment of the case (w/ trackpad), and 1.5 hours of labor, for a total around $400.
What I want to know is where I can find a cheap battery and case, as well as whether a repair like this (replacing top case) would really take 1.5 hours.
