[QUOTE="j-dubh, post: 387304, member: 30829"] hi - I'm using an old G3 ibook which I love and am trying to remain faithful to despite the screen only coming on at certain angles and the motor in the combo drive having given out. I've had the logic board replaced once - it's in the dodgy batch as far as I can tell. However now the screen is completely black at start up. I can still access everything via firewire from a desk-top mac (ie the hard drive is fine and all the data is still there) and occasionally it will start up - date reset but otherwise OK - but seems to be suffering from a loose connection somewhere in that when I moved it a bit it flickered and died. I'm wondering if it's the logic board again but have been told this are not typical symptoms - I don't really have money to spend on it as I'm studying this year. Anyone got any advice? [/QUOTE]
