I was able to procure a 800mhz G3 iBook today for very cheap. It is currently displaying the infamous Logic Board Failure.
I have already disassembled it down to the chassis, would it be best to just buy another logic board on ebay and hope that it doesn't develop the same problem or go nuts on it and try This guy's pyromaniacal solution.
I like playing with fire but I would like to see if I could get this thing working. :)
