Determining if a Software Installation is Required af-
2. Compare the EEE code to those shown in the table for your iBook model:
3. To determine whether or not a software installation is required,
• If the EEE code on the board is one of those shown in the third column of the table,
titled "Old Logic Board with EEE Identifier," then no software installation is
required. Stop here.
• If the EEE code on the board is one of those shown in the fourth column of the
table, titled "New Logic Board with EEE Identifier," restart the computer and check
for video distortion.
– If there is no video distortion, then no software installation is required. Stop here.
– If there is video distortion, go to the next step to install the software.
4. Confirm that a CD set was included with the replacement logic board.
5. Important: When installing the system software, use only the operating system
software disc set that came with the replacement logic board. Start up the computer
from the CD that matches the OS on the iBook.
• If the computer was running an earlier version of Mac OS X, update the operating
system to Mac OS X version 10.3.2 using a CD from the disc set.
• If the computer was running Mac OS 9.2.2 or earlier, update the operating system
to the version of Mac OS 9.2.2 that is compatible with the new logic board. Install
the ATI update using the iBook Logic Board Update CD for Classic and Mac OS 9
from the disc set.
Important: Using the CD, follow instructions on the startup screen to "Upgrade" the
system. Do not perform a "Clean install" or "Erase install."
Note: When you use the iBook Logic Board Update CD for Classic and Mac OS 9,
once the installation is complete, the system restarts into Mac OS 9, not Mac OS X
since OS 9 is where the installation occurred. In this case, select Mac OS X as the
startup disk from the OS 9-booted system. Go to the control panel and select the
startup disk. Select Mac OS X as the startup disk in the computer.
6. Find the Acrobat Reader icon in the OS X application folder, and open the application.
If it doesn’t open, delete the generic icon from the folder.
Note: Acrobat Reader may get deleted when updating from 10.1.x to 10.3.2. If so, a
generic icon for Acrobat Reader might remain in the Applications folder, but you
might not be able to open Acrobat Reader. This condition is less likely when updating
