Hi guys,I am thinking of repairing my ibook (800Mhz G3 12') .
It had the ati graphics problem,then I heat it up,no good,went to a university to "re-solder" (I don't know for sure) but no luck (I think it may even got too hot when I tried fixing it).
The question is where is the best place to buy a logicboard "cheap" and if possible with warranty?I only see board with 14 days warranty @75eur with shipping for portugal..14days is too low :S

Other possibility is getting a faulty one that that has not been repaired,and repair it on ebay,with a user that offers 1year warranty (100% feedback),any options here?because lots of users tend to try the "heat" process and then it may damage the board just like I did...
Opinions and suggestions needed :)
If anyone has a deffective g3 800Mhz logicboard to give/sell please tell me :)
Help saving an ibook g3 :)
 
It may not be worth it to fix, if that is the case. You may be able to get another machine, maybe even a G4 for that price.

the latest machine that I saw was a pb g4..and it was 300eur..and it was a "good " price..
my ibook is mint,I don't mind giving 80eur for "good" dead logicboard + repair + shipping,but can't seem to find one "cheap"...
oh..and I am waiting for the "new" mbp,so it was somehow "stupid" throwing 300eur in other latop..but 80eur is +- good for repairing a mint ibook :) for me off course..
Aren't there anyone that would like to giveaway one dead-but not repaired logicboard for my ibook g3?:D
