No more hardware support

Apple has discontinued the hardware support for the Clamshell iBook series. This means that original spare parts are no longer manufactured. Apple service partners will be not able to get a new logicboard if it is defective.

So Clamshell owners have to look for second-hand parts.

According to company policy, Apple is labels equipment, whose production has been discontinued for 5 years ore more as >> vintage << after 7 years >> obsolete <<.
