After Apple cancelled the hardware support for the Clamshell iBook which means that new parts are no longer produced, there are only a few sources of supply left. The first parts you have to replace are the battery, keyboard and power supply, but there are more parts you will need to keep your iBook up and running.
A well-stocked, but higher priced assortment is available especially from US and UK merchants. Here comes an international link list: Laptop King (USA)PBfanatic (UK) PowerBookmedic (USA) iFixit (USA) WeloveMacs (USA) xs4trade (NL) PcHub (Singapore) The BookYard (UK) AppleMacparts (UK) BricoMac (F) PowerBook Guy (USA) wegenermedia.com (USA) Mac-pro.com (USA) Apple-palace.com (USA) pbparts.com (USA) usedmac.com (USA) Ebay-Shop LaptopPartsrepair Ebay-Shop UrbanTekka Ebay Shop eagleelectronic Ebay-Shop laptopaid |
The largest second-hand market can be found on Ebay. The cheapest way is to buy a similar Clamshell to have a few parts in stock that you will need in the future.Polls

| With equal parts toilet seat, suitcase and clam, the iBook had a funny sort of charm that did little to reflect the personality of the user (unless, of course, they happened to be running away with the circus). The iBook looked more like a Playskool product than a Cupertino one, especially when appearing on a shelf next to a Wall Street or Lombard PowerBook. Michael Simon, maclife.com |
