I recently picked up a lot of 2 iBook G3 "iceBooks" off of eBay, mainly because one of them was a working 900MHz 14", which I have been after for quite a while. The other one is a 600MHz 12" which I have identified as an "iBook (16MB VRAM)" model. It has the earlier ATI Radeon graphics not known for failure. This iBook chimes, the hard drive spins up and initializes, and then nothing. No display, and I can't hear the drive working as if it's booting either. I coincidentally have another iBook of the exact same model, but that one works fine. I can swap parts to figure out what's wrong, but if I have to take apart another iceBook, I think I'll implode. Before resorting to that or baking the board, does anyone here have any idea what could be the culprit here? I know it's probably just a bad logic board, but could it be anything else?
Thanks,
