[QUOTE="csegeek, post: 861967, member: 105154"] OUCH... screen wacky .. indicative of the BGA (ball grid array) on the video chip separating .. I have had about 30% success rate of fixing this issue by my self .. you can send the logic board in to some company's to fix it for you .. for 50$ plus shipping but you have to send just the logic board.. You can verify that this is the problem.. by putting the iBook on a desk and pressing pretty hard on the case just under the left command key and booting up ... as long as you keep pressing it should be fine till your fingers give out and release pressure. you have my sympathy [/QUOTE]
