Hi

I might have the possibility to buy an iBook 800/combo/32MB VRAM for a decent price (1200-1300 euros, +- equivalent in $ tax included). The problem : I don't know personaly the vendor. I would like to be sure that the ice book is in perfect state. Is there a test I could run on it ? Something I should check before buying it ??

Thanks in advance

Is it from an individual or is it from a vendor. If it is individual I would test it first to see how it works. It's easier if you buy from a vendor because they will give you at least a month warranty so you can make sure everything is operational.

It will have the hairline scratches in it if it's not seal in the original box.
