I love my iBook, but it is in the shop every 9 or 10 months. This is still better than the Sony Viao I had that had a battery, hard drive, and motherboard failure within 10 days of the warrantee ending.

Anyway, after your AppleCare warrantee wears out, I recommend a company called TechRestore. They have fixed five or six laptops for myself and friends. They are a small company, maybe only three people, but every time I have been able to overnight my laptop, get it fixed, and have it overnighted back.

Your mileage may vary. Good hunting.
