Going back to 2003 in fact: http://macintoshhowto.com/hardware/how-do-i-get-my-broken-g4... http://johnbakersblog.co.uk/design-fault-in-apples-ibook-g4/ I had one of these laptops and Apple charged me £75 to look at it, and failed to fix it. Later the Danish Consumer Complaints Board investigated and found that there was a systematic fault in the solder joints.
