[QUOTE="csegeek, post: 858204, member: 105154"] Zipp, I am very new to the Mac laptops.. but have had a few pass through my hands recently.. if this is the same issue the shim fix will work to get the system up and running to test it may have worked now due to being cold and no flexing on the sysboard but I have found [url=http://www.coreyarnold.org/ibook/]ibook G4 logic board fix[/url] to be very helpful Identifying the chip and with a steady hand sharp tipped soldering iron lots of flux and some silver solder ... the repairs are more permanent. There are really only 2 pins that have a joint issue if you have the bottom off and are looking at it from the back battery away from you they are on the right side the two end pins cant remember but I think they are pins 1 and 28 Or It could be the system has another issue with Power management ... I have run in to an iBook that would function perfectly fine until you powered it off.. it would not ever restart again unless you took the battery out and unplugged it for 24hrs or more .. and no amount of nvram resets or PMU resets would help it .. but why shut down any how ... the iBook sleep very well..LOL just my 2 cents..
