Following the instructions found here and here, I managed to take apart my iBook, and install a cunning device to fix my logic board. Basically, I needed to push the bit of the logic board that was making my laptop crash into place so that it connected to the rest of the computer properly.
The materials I used were as follows:
a 2 pence coin, and;
some Blu-Tak.
Total cost: about 2.1 pence. That's a grand total of about 5 cents US$.
I put the case back together with the 2p widget in situ, and Hey Presto!, the bloody thing worked again! No crashes, no nothing...the old girl was back to her self again!
Dear reader, I was most pleased that I'd saved myself the cost of a new laptop (or logic board repair). The key thing was to put pressure over the GPU.
