logic board advice
Hi
My Apple Ibook G3 12" logic board is faulty and it would have been covered under Apple's repair prgram but it has now finished.
I have bought a working logic board fo the ibook.
I need some advice
SHould I get someone to fit it or do it myself.
I am technically minded but after reading the ifixit guide there are many thiongs which have to come out before the logic board goes in.
WHat are the main risks or things to look out for when fitting one? Has anyone ever done it, advice would be appreciated greatly.
Does anyone know if the Apple shop would fit it for me?
Thanks

for the above problem - you can follow the instructions over at www.iFixit.com The main risks are that you may blow the logic board in fitting - so it's good to be grounded. The connector of the iBook to the hard drive is critical and delicate. You need a few special tools (see the web site). And especally, unless you have a soft plastic tool to open the thing up you will damage the case slghtly ... Not for faint hearted!
