The 2 pence iBook fix fails....it was too good to last

Dear reader, the joy of fixing my iBook using nothing more than a 2 pence coin and some Blu-Tak was short lived.

After a few months of working fairly well, the home-repaired iBook once again began freezing and crashing thanks to the same Logic Board / Video Card problem that had brought it to its knees in the first place.

What to do? Spend some scarce funds on a new laptop, or once again try to bodge the thing? You know the answer! Bodge the bastard!

I read here that by placing c-clamps over the offending Video Card that a stricken iBook could be miraculously revived. That had to be worth a go I thought...

So - here's the result: a fully-functioning (but totally immobile) iBook.

Repair cost: £4.99 (thecost of 2 c-clamps from my local DIY store). That's about $8.

Result!
