    I'm looking for help. I just received an iBook G3 and I'm trying to identify it (so that I can buy a new battery). I believe it is a late 2002/early 2003 model. It has:

    CPU: PowerPC 750 (2.3)
    CPU Speed: 800 Mhz
    Video: ATI RageM7 32 MB VRAM
    the audio connector is gray, not metal

    Let me know what else you need. Thanks!

    Looks like either this or this.

    If it's 14" then it's Late 2002 (my first Mac!)
    12" with Combo drive is Late 2002.
    12" CD-ROM is Early 2003.

    Putting in your serial number at this site will tell you what model/year it is :) (hopefully it includes iBooks, as I haven't tested that)

    It worked (for this iBook at least).
