My ibook g4 1.33Ghz suddenly got dead a couple of days ago.

It seems that whatever you connect the power adapter and install the battery,it just can't turn on.There is nothing but silence after you push the power button.
I open it and found there is a Crystal Oscillator on my motherboard broken,the only problem is that the model of it can't be found.So can anyone help me figure it out?
the Crystal Oscillator is marked with the red circle!
can u just tell me the info from the top of it?
Thanx!

Is that the 12" iBook 1.33Ghz? Makes a difference so I will know what service manual to check.

I am not exactly sure what info you want. Is your part so messed up you can't read the top of it? If so, this is the best I can do because Apples service manuals treat the logic board as a part and do not list the individual components and their numbers. Hope this helps.

Check the pic below. That is the top of that chip you have circled in Red.
