Apple Ibook, 12" screen..384 Ram 500Mz G3 OSX is installed, i think i still got the disks, i know i should have the original ones, if not the box and everything.
(same thing pictured here, but no airport card.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2761089279 )
PROBLEM: these puters have a power cord, well it was dropped on the cord and the inside receiver pin broke off. Think of this jack as an RCA jack with the tip having 2 points(for example a stereo headphonejack had 2 tips for L and R, as the mono one only has one) I think this is because there are 2 different voltages comming in.
So, then that means 1 thing, you cannot charge the battery or use the power cord for power.
Now what i did was bought a battery pack charger, so i take the pack out, charge it up, stick it back in the puter, and i got 2 hours of macness.
Maybe you can fix the power, but it does work how i described above. I went inside it and really cannot deal with taking this thing apart to get to the jack to change it out.(or maybe change the kinda jack...got me, apple or any other place wants the change the entire board) I can give picts and whatever.
I want to know if there is any intrest in this, since i think i will have nothing but problems with ebay selling this and who ever one being pissed or something because they are stupid. Since this is my girls, she wants cash.....but ya never know, she loves odd games.
