> Hello my technically-inclined friends,
>
> I have a 14" ibook g4.  It's served me well for over four years,  
> through thesis writing, river guiding, moving cross-country, and now  
> for nearly two years in honduras.  A couple of months ago, my ibook  
> had a run-in with a lightning bolt and stopped working.  A new  
> battery and power supply partially remedied the problem: it now runs  
> fine off the battery, but won't charge (making it a short-lived  
> success).  After dismantling the computer and doing some tests, I'm  
> almost certain the problem is a fried DC-in board - basically the  
> socket that you plug the power supply into.
>
> So what does this have to do with you?  Well, this board is kind of  
> pricey ($40-50) online, and I figure there have got to be lots of  
> old, derelict ibooks (in basements, closets, etc) from which a DC-in  
> board could be scavenged.  So before I drop 50 bucks plus  
> international shipping on a new one, I thought I'd ask: any of you  
> have a broken ibook lying around that you'd be willing to  
> cannibalize for your poor volunteer friend?  I'd be happy to pay for  
> shipping to send it down here.
>
> Thanks!
