In 2009/10, I bought this 1st gen iBook for just £10. The replacement battery cost me 3x the price of the computer and I’ve long since discarded that (a side project may involve buying a replacement - likely dead - battery and rebuilding it, but I digress). Anyway, at the time, I’d noticed the beginnings of the dreaded tension cracks around the Apple logo. Over the last few years, it worsened and then seems to have stopped at its current state.
Is there any way to lessen the strain on this area? Perhaps if I loosen the torx screws a bit on either side of the LCD? I suppose a permanent ‘solution’ would be to replace the bezel with one from a newer model, but then it may just look a bit off having, say, frosted white from an indigo model. Anyone else had this issue?
