Scroll down the page and you'll find a thread just dripping with sarcasm, if you're curious about my dilemma or just want something not-so-entertaining to read, knock yourself out, it'll give you a tiny back story of what's going on.
I have an iBook, it's lasted me for a long time.
It's caught many colds, but none have been as terrible as the temporary coma it's fallen into. It's suffering from "logic board" failure, I'm somewhat cheap, and I've decided I need something to hold me together until I can afford a newer, shiner piece of Mac-action.
Through my search of inexpensive ways, I found several tutorials telling me how to fix this issue without spending a lot of money... I'm scared out of my mind to try it. Software issues I can handle, but when it comes to opening something up and putting something inside... I'm not so excited... or prepared.
So, I have a quick question, should I swallow my fears and attempt to open up my iBook and follow what these instructions tell me to do or attempt to find someone else? Here's the tutorial. Has anyone done this sort of thing and not familiar with the inner-anatomy of a laptop? How'd it go?
I just need this laptop to hold me over for a few months, long enough for me to get my finances in a position where I can afford a really nice laptop that comes with a really nice warranty.
So, um, help?
