[QUOTE="ricekid, post: 680723, member: 59422"] Hi guys, Im fairly new in the Mac world, having used PCs my whole life i decided to invest in a mac as my brother uses them for University. Anyway, i bought a cheap iBook G4 12" off of eBay and its pretty much fine, needs a new battery, and waiting on an Airport Extreme Card (Which i think will fit? Someone let me know if not). The main problem, however, is that every now and then, the screen locks up and the Mac stops running. I get these ugly, pixelated, multi-coloured lines on the screen and it all goes t*ts up...i think its a video problem thats going to cost me a fortune to fix! :Shouting: :Shouting: This happens on random occasions, like sometimes it can happen 5 times in 10 minuites, sometimes i will go a day without it happening. Anyone able to diagnose the problem? And a potential cure? I would be most grateful!!! Chris [/QUOTE]
