[QUOTE="Spag_187, post: 994365, member: 141620"] Im trying to investigate further details regarding the current status/condition of my ibook and had a few question that hopefully you guys can help me with. 1. I just replaced the LCD display lid with a new cover (the original was marked and scratched up a bit) and noticed the tape around the actual LCD screen and shield area has been cut/removed before. Is this an indication the LCD screen has been repaired or replaced? 2. Under the "about this Mac" the disk drive lists the following info...is this the original disk drive, or has it been upgraded to a super disk drive? MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845E: Firmware Revision: DMP2 Interconnect: ATAPI Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive) Cache: 2048 KB Reads DVD: Yes CD-Write: -R, -RW DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO Media: Insert media and refresh to show available burn speeds 3. I notice when first booting up the ibook (and opening some apps), there is some minor clicking noise. I would assume from the HDD. Is this a good indication the hard drive is beginning to fail? Thank you in advance for your input and help guys. I don't know anyone who's up to speed on Mac products. I figure this forum is my best source for info. [/QUOTE]
