Știu că șansele sunt mici, dar încercarea moarte n-are, nu?
Caut un logic board pentru un iBook de 12'' cu procesor G4 la 1.2 GHz. Dar accept și la alte frecvențe atâta timp cât se potrivesc cu ce am eu.

What failed on it?
Anecdotally, I have seen many problems with the iBook G4 logic boards. Including my own, which was once declared dead... only to resurrect, but without USB working. Others I personally know have had other problems.
Apple hasn't been too gracious on taking care of its customers, which is unusual since they normally do a great job at service.
If you're really stuck, I might be able to look into getting one from the US. I'm not immediately familiar with the prices but I do figure I might get one or two boxes of goodies for Christmas and there's little reason I couldn't ask someone to slip a logic board in there, buried under the chocolate santas...
It's the video ram that failed. The mac still works, but I have a lot of green artifacts on screen which kinda prevent me from doing anything else than chatting on various instant messaging networks. It started with a line here, a line there, now they're pretty much everywhere (ha! I made a rhyme) and probably soon they'll just cover the screen completely and I won't be able to see anything. :)
Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, in USA they're around the same price as here. And 'here' is a lot (think around 450 euros). The only place you can get them cheaper is eBay, and even there they're not really that cheap (~300 - 350 bucks).
Good news is that I found a broken motherboard for 50 bucks and a good soul will attempt a frankensteinesque move in which you start with two broken ones and you end up with one that works. Wish me luck. :)
Take photos and document. When it's over, make a long blog post of the details... and I'll submit to Slashdot. =]
