How much $$$ for a logic board?

[JBarbier]

How much does it generally cost to either fix or replace a bad logic board? I know that some units (including mine) are under the extended apple thing, but I don't have the original receipt. So, if it comes down to me having to buy a new (or used) logic board and installing it myself, so be it. I really hope it doesn't come down to that because logic boards are frightfully expensive, much more than my g3 800 is worth. ****, I regret buying that used iBook. I could have bought a refurb for 799.99 with a year warranty, but no, I wanted something NOW. You live and learn, let this be a lesson to everyone... a fairly expensive one. I ended up paying close to 700.00 for that g3 iBook. The computer itself was 450. Extra battery (which I really ended up not needing,) 80 bucks. Airport card, 80 bucks. Tiger OS, 69 dollars with student discount. However, 3 days with the beautiful iBook, priceless... yea right, I surely screwed up.

well i hate to bear the bad news but with something like that you will be lucky if its cheaper to buy a logic board than buy a new one

yea i know you live and learn but thats it.
is there any way you can claim off your house insurance for it, just a though

You sure apple wants the original receipt? Maybe try contacting the person you bought it off, or quote apple the serial number - it should be registered.

I had to send in my old iPod for repairs once and Apple didn't even ask for a receipt.

Yeah Apple have never asked me for a receipt. Your serial number should be registered to you, and that will be enough to get a replacement. Just give them a call.

Well I gave it to the guy at MacFriends (local apple repair man person,) and he shipped it off, so I'm guessing that they're going to fix it. Thanks anyway.
