My iBook is suffering from a video glitch triggered by movement, so I'm hoping its a connector or cabling issue, and not logic board. I'm out of warranty so want to strip the 'Book down and check it all out. can anyone offer a link to some decent, detailed instructions so I don't break anything?

Also does anyoneone now the size of the key for the four screen casing screws visible from the sides? None of mine fit so I need to find one that does.

Thanks

Thanks - I found them and stripped down then ibook. Found some grazing on the mic cable at the hinge, which I insulated, but nothing else. Reseated at the connectors and the hang has gone away. Weird.
