Love the Mac > Fix It Up Good

[[BrockLi] Home] As mentioned earlier, I stopped into the Apple Store this weekend to see if they'd replace the screen on my iBook. The border around the screen had a couple small cracks in it that appeared to be a result of stress from some components inside pushing their way out.

[HD For Indies] LIVID: Doing any work on an Apple laptop that involves opening up the machine (beyond removing a _removable_ keyboard, like they have on the iBooks) is frankly not a good idea for anyone who is not an Apple Certified Portable Technician. This usually transcends the knowhow of the folks manning the official Apple retail stores, so give a local Apple-Authorized Service Provider some business -- might cost a couple hundred bucks, but better than damaging your laptop.

[Tuaw.com] The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW): But, then, it gets really cool when he links to this AppleFritter forum thread, which includes a nice discussion of finding replacements for these little rechargeable wonders and methods for repairing your own ailing batteries. Pretty cool.

Blogs.msdn.comhttp://blogs.msdn.com [Blogs.msdn.com] Wayne's Microsoft Blog : Dead Laptop Battery: This isn't really an Apple issue, but an issue with the battery chemistry, and lithium ion is the exact same battery technology used in Windows laptops with the same expected lifetime. 18 months is the short end, it's more like 18-36 months or around 500 charges whichever comes first.

Mjtsai.com[Mjtsai.com] Michael Tsai - Blog - iBook G4: If so, does anybody think that the computer is deliberately handicapped by Apple in order to maintain a certain difference in perceived value between iBooks and Powerbooks? With regard to the German applescript that enables this feature in iBooks (as long as the video card is capable), do you think that this hack can harm the iBook's motherboard over time?
