Dead iBook (2001)

[iTim314]

I have an iBook 500Mhtz PPC G3, 384 RAM, 10GB HD, Dual USB.

Several months ago, I opened it up and it simply would not start up. No start up sound, no noise from the fans/HD/anything, motionless. Completely dead.

I've held (many times) the PMU, and tried almost anything. Is there anything else I can do to get it to AT LEAST turn on?

The battery is dead, and the charger is fine, but the battery won't charge. I tested the charger on a PB G4.

I'd rather sell the whole computer as a working computer. I figured I'd get more money that way. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or do I need to sell it for parts?

Is it working?
Nope.

No more money for you, Mr. Greedy.

Okay..... Better question:

Is there hope of me using it? Or do I take it apart and sell the Memory, HD, etc. I don't just wanna throw it away. I'd rather get SOMETHING out of it.

Mate, just sell it for parts. You'll probably get more money that way.
