    I bought a g4 ibook for my wife about 1 1/2 years ago . . . I made the mistake of not buying the extended warranty thinking my wife is very careful with her computer and would not likely need the extra coverage. Now the computer is dead. I took it into compusa and they confirmed the logic board was the culprit. So . . . is it possible the overheating of the battery could have damaged other components of the computer and caused the failure??? Yes, her laptop has one of the recalled batteries. Can you share your thoughts??
