[QUOTE="chscag, post: 700961, member: 46727"] Did the volume keys work before or is this something that just occurred? I notice during the YouTube video you mention that it was purchased off eBay or did I hear wrong? In any event it appears your sound module on the G3 has gone south. I'm not sure it's something you can repair yourself. Hold on a minute while I check.... OK, I'm back. Looks like the sound in card [B][I]is[/I][/B] user replaceable. Check here: [url]http://www.ifixit.com/iBook-Parts/iBook-G3-12-Inch-DC-In-Board/IF150-011[/url] I looked it up for the 12" model but it should be the same for the other models. If you feel you can do the repair yourself you might want to give it a try. The sound in board module is not expensive. Before you do anything though, you might want to get a second opinion from someone who is local to you. Regards. [/QUOTE]
