Hi guys,
I'm selling a dead 12-inch PowerBook G4 1GHz. It has 768MB DDR RAM, 40GB HDD, APE, BT, Combo Drive, but some things you might want to note are:
A year or so ago it got dropped... Well, we were wondering around college late one night trying to get a better signal and we ran from a care taker and, well, crash... So now it lost its sex factor. The metal at the left back is bent so that the power cord slips out quite easily and takes some tweaking to keep in sometimes, the metal on the right above the slot loading drive is bent, but disks fit in fine, the metal on the front above the latch is scratched, but this doesn't hinder usability either. The thing I hate most is that the screen is coming out of its metal back on the left side a little bit. I have photos which I can email those interested.
So about a year after that incident it was fine, but then it died. I switch it on and I just get a grey screen. I tried putting in an Apple 10.2 CD that came with it (it's running 10.4 ATM though) and nothing happened, and I didn't bother to do a lot else (just tried resetting PRAM and showing bootable devices) because MBP was out so I got that.
If interested feel free to bid, I don't expect to get much (if anything) for it but if it doesn't sell in the next couple of days I'll throw it (I need my drawer space back).
Thanks
