Home Forums Hardware Mac Desktops & Notebooks iBook Bricked??

I'm pretty sure my iBook is toast, and I am planning to get rid of it. But, I was wondering if it is bricked if it gets hot while plugged in? It's at least responding in that way. Just curious. I still can't get it to turn on after being plugged in about 18 hours. I've heard of them coming back to life after being plugged in for many hours so I was testing that theory.
