Thanks for the feedback and kind words.
I was so stressed at not having my laptop for work for 5 days... and then being told it was going to cost $1500 for new board... I really didnt sleep last night!
I spoke with apple customer services in sydney this morning.
I Took a deep breath...
Im shattered.
My g4 1.67 powerbook I bought in sydney 12 months and 2 weeks ago started to fail about 2 weeks ago. The screen would 'pixel out' and windows would be become impossible to read till the screen would 'wash out'. Then it would come back fine for a few hours.
I have kept this...
