Chosen Solution
Hallo, I’m sorry for my bad english. I’m from Milan, Italy. I have an iBook 12" 600 MHz (late 2001). Now, 1 minute after the start, the screen is OK, but suddenly faints and many vertical stripes red and green appear, the trackpad doesn’t run and everything stops. What is the part I have to replace? I hope to get my iBook a new life, if possible. If you want, I can send images of the screen. Thanks a lot for your reply.
this solution applies pressure to the chip, discussion about reflow/solder and a few other ideas on fixes. The only true repair is a reball, but these others will give you your ibook back. Worked for me!
It is probably the video chip or processor. Unfortunately, the best fix is a logic board replacement, as both are soldered to it.
