Doomed iBook
So, Apple has finally done the right thing and created a program to cover the replacement of the defective logic boards in certain iBooks. Which is good, and they should have done it a long time ago. However, I see from reading this announcement that I am doomed. My iBook’s serial number is included in the group of covered iBooks. I wonder what the percentage of iBooks with this problem is, and the likelihood that mine will fail. It’s great that Apple will fix it for free if it happens, but I certainly don’t want to lose the use of the iBook for days or longer while the work is done. I am crossing my fingers.

Hmm, I’m outside the affected range. So I’m not *necessarily* doomed, but if it fails . . . . good thing I bought AppleCare.

I would get it fixed sooner rather than later. I mean do it before it crashes when you need your machine.. right?
Besides the offer might not last forever

You can’t get it fixed until the component fails. It’s not a general recall. Unfortunately — because it would be nice to be able to schedule the repair for a time when I don’t need the iBook.
