I have one of these for sale. It was taken to Apple and they said it needs a new logic board. I've decided not to repair it. As far as I know all the remaining parts are still in working condition. The last time the unit was on the following were all working:

14" LCD
DVD Combo drive
256MB RAM
Airport card
60GB hard disk
keyboard
A/C adapter

It comes in the original box with all the included accessories, CDs, software, etc. It comes with OS X Tiger 10.4.

The case of the unit has a few scratches like most of these units do but is in great shape. I'm thinking that someone can use this for a parts computer. I cannot guarantee that the parts on it work but they did the last time the unit was on prior to the logic board going out. Since I cannot get it to power up I cannot test the remaining parts. That said, if anyone is interested in it, it is being offered for sale for $275obo plus shipping. Please make any and all offers.

Thanks.

A.

I was told that it had some soda was spilled onto it. I did not kill it myself. I am trying to sell it for a friend. I have it at my house. I just looked at the box and the processor is a 1.33GHz G4, HD size is 60GB and the RAM is 256 MB. It has a Combo drive with DVD/CD-RW. The AC adapter turns green when I plug it into the unit but the unit will not power up when I press the power switch up by the keyboard.

Yell if you have any other questions. Thanks.

$350 seems reasonable as long as it is the logic board, good luck!

If you decide to part it out, I might be interested in the power adapter. I'm planning to take a look at an ibook that will be up for sale soon, and it might need a power adapter. Just send me a pm if you decide to part it out.

Yes, pictures would help immensely, accepting anything in trade perhaps?

Don't you hate it when they ignore you. They can be just like a women sometimes.

I can vouch for the fact that the A/C adapter, the RAM and the CDs are working properly. I just don't have the ability to test the parts in the unit itself. This unit came with OS X 10.3 originally. It will also include a retail DVD of Tiger 10.4 that was purchased separately (the one with the X on it that you buy in a store). Please make any and all offers.

Thanks.
