[QUOTE="Pixel, post: 290350, member: 24076"] Hi, everyone. I hope I can get some advice here. I own an iBook G4, and I've had it for two years. In the past 13 months, my logic board and hard drive have been replaced *twice* by Applecare. Now my hard drive is acting like it wants to die again. After being on for awhile, the machine freezes up. When I restart, sometimes I get just a dark grey screen with nothing on it, or I get the start up screen, and the circular icon stops spinning after a minute or two. So I have to start it again. The machine acted like this this first time the HD died. So, I know the HD is dying, especially since "the click of death" is becoming more regular. I still have about 11 months left on AppleCare. My question, I guess, is this. What are my options? Should I have Apple replace the hard drive *again*, or insist on a replacement computer? [/QUOTE]
