It's never happened to me (yet) but I've heard of it happening to other people on a few occassions. Is your machine still under warranty?

Current iBooks are designed to vent heat through the keyboard, thus running them with the lid closed is not recommended.

Since iBooks are designed to vent heat up through the keyboard, I'm not so sure this is a good idea. You may experience overheating problems.

The ill-fitting battery is a very common complaint about iBooks. If it's broken, you may get it replaced under warranty but I think we're just expected to live with the less-than-perfect fit.

I usually restart about every 10-12 days, or if I install an update that requires a reboot.

Since you don't need the Superdrive, the 12" would handle all those tasks quite well. It's also a pound lighter than the 14", not to mention smaller and more portable.

Are you absolutely sure the memory is completed seated in the slot? Some times you have to push it in there a lot harder than you might think. At least I hope it's that simple!

Mine took three days to arrive.

Kinda bummed to hear that others looked as new...but at least I never had to worry about putting that first scratch on it since it was already there!

Did you recently upgrade to 10.3.8? It seems that some people are having the same problem. I don't have a solution for you though - I upgraded to 10.3.8 and my button still works fine. Weird.

If you replace the hard drive yourself, you will void your warranty. You may be able to have an authorized service center do it for you without voiding the warranty, but I'm not sure about that.

No offense, but I don't think the Mac Mini comment makes much sense. Mac Minis don't come with monitors and Apple doesn't sell VGA monitors....so of course it has DVI.
