So... After a good 5 years of use, my iBook G3, (800Mhz) has died. Its departing words were "Beep, beep, beep".
From what Ive read, this means the RAM banks are faulty or somthing. I obviously cant boot into the bios or see anything on the screen as is the usual case with RAM problems. Is there any way to fix this without spending a fortune on various logic boards etc.
Thanks.

Remove any RAM that you can and just run with the RAM on the motherboard. If it boots, buy a new RAM circuit and replace the broken one. If it still won't boot, a motherboard replacement is likely your only option. I'd give it a decent burial if that's the case.
