Apple expands iBook Logic Board Repair program

[Mac Reporter]

Apple has updated its iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program to include more iBook models: "The update to the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program is the inclusion of certain additional iBooks to the existing program. The Updated iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program is a worldwide program covering repair or replacement of the logic board in specific iBook models manufactured between May 2002 and October 2003 that are experiencing specific component failures." First launched in Jaunary 2004, Apple says it will reimburse customers with eligible iBooks for the cost of repairs covered under this program, as well as repair any eligible iBook experiencing problems.

Whoa! Now my iBook is included in the list... Do I need to do anything special to verify if my iBook is indeed affected by the Repair Program?

BTW, my serial number is UV322xxxxxx and the serial number range included is "UV220XXXXXX to UV342XXXXXX"

Lastly, if my 'Book is indeed already included in the program, is AppleCare still a "must"?

@berniej
it seems that you're not in serious danger based on the logic repair anouncement. however, i would suggest you take it to an apple center for their evaluation... just to be sure :2cents:
