[QUOTE="idkfa, post: 692349, member: 61210"] Thanks! I now know why I used to frequent this place so much a few years ago. :) Apologies for my terse posts, I am always on edge dreading the restart message! It has been working fine for the last 2.5 hours, but this means little given the recent times it has worked (max of 5 hours or so, min of 2 minutes). I will pick up one of those adapters, it is a lot cheaper than a new MacBook! I can easily justify a new laptop after 3 years of hard use, but I prefer the form of the iBook. :Smirk: Any thoughts on how to be certain it is not the logic board? I have done the Hardware Test and the diagnostic tool on the Applecare CD with no negative results, but I have heard that all positive responses does not necessarily mean things are okay. I am guessing from your post that I can in fact deactivate airport and still use a USB WiFi adapter? I have never used any sort of external wireless before so I want to be certain. :) [/QUOTE]
