BS, i know how this stuff works, you let me know then apple recalls your computer and ill admit to it. its plain and simple, if its under warranty it will be covered, if it isnt it will cost money. It will be about 400 dollars per ibook. and by the way, i do own a car, thanks though. Also cars are usually under recall because they may cause danger for the driver, this is a computer.

Apple Knows about the defect--Shame on them!!
LOOK--->IBOOK OWNERS BEWARE !!!I have a 700 ibook--just a few weeks ago the warranty expired. Then the screen suddenly went berserk with the horizontal lines of death...then the screen failed completely.**** Pressure to the left of the trackpad seemed to bring the screen back for a minute but that was it.***** Now it's history !!--no applecare--on my own now.
---------->What I experienced is what thousands of ibook owner have experienced: sudden failure of the video chip on the logic board. This is a DEFECT that should be addresed and compensated for by Apple. I plan on fixing mine with the new third party updated video chip that supposedly can withstand the xtra heat of 512 ram without cracking. No way will I pay 400 for another logic board with the same video chip.
SHAME ON APPLE !! they know!!!If I were rich I'd sue Apple and start a class action lawsuit. This deception really pisses me off . All those poor unknowing ibook owners!!!(they have less money to play with than Powerbook owners and are less apt the be able to take a hard loss like this).
Don't believe me ?--look on google--search ibook logic board--SO many forum discussions all over the web. STill not conviced?--just Look on EBAY !!On any given day--at least a couple of ibooks for sale with BAD LOGIC boards--People can't afford the repair--
************ SPREAD THE WORD****-anyone who owns an Ibook-BUY APPLECARE NOW before the year warranty expires.
Your Logic board is likely to fail sooner or later if you run hot on 512 ram---I'll keep you guys posted on the new updated video chip. Keeping my fingers crossed.
