I just bought a G3 ibook from ebay. When it shows the apple startup screen there is a black spot on the bottom. Is this a symptom of a dying logic board? Should I contact the seller?

The only time the video is messed up is when it is booting on the splash screen. I do not have the AC adapter it is being shipped (it didnt come with one). I am using the battery.
 
Could you post a photo of the black spot? It might help us understand what's going on. 🙂
