Apple Expands (Again) iBook Logic-Board Program

Posted by timothy on from the cultivating-customers dept.

JMZorko writes "Apple has extended the repair program to widen the serial # range yet again for iBooks experiencing the dreaded, dreaded (and did I say dreaded?) video problems. It now includes serial #s up to the UV342 range (which, sadly, mine is in .. here I thought I finally got one that would stay with me for awhile, sigh)."

    If your iBook is not actually experiencing any problems, what's there to be sad about? Since the entire line is several months old now, you should be well into the safe area of the bathtub curve.

    NO, it would result in a class action suit if they didn't fix them. And apple would lose that suit.

    Actually, the G4 iBooks haven't been out long enough yet to know that for sure. Most G3 iBooks only started failing after about 1 year. I really do hope they got it fixed, though...

    -- Someone who has a G3 iBook with a 4th replacement logic board (because he was unlucky enough to have experienced two different kinds of logic board failures, so it has been replaced once for 1 issue and 3 times for another and they only want to talk about giving a replacement if the same issue occurs for the 4th time).
