As some of you may know, my 1Ghz 17" PowerBook G4 died around February. I've been keeping an eye on logicboard prices on eBay, but haven't found anything under $60.
Until last night I found one for $25 with free shipping. The seller said it was pulled from a working system, which means it worked when they parted the Mac out.
Today, I got an eBay donation of £10 from a guy I helped with QuarkXPress in the UK (I'm a Graphic Designer by profession). That translated to over $16. The guy just paid for two thirds of my logicboard because I went after this fast once I got it!
Here's my new logicboard! I figure next weekend I should be up and running again!
Going to swap out the 100GB HD in there now with the 120GB drive I got from the broken iBook G4 while I'm at it. WoooHooooo!!!!!
Pic to remind you of my Mac
MODS: Not my auction, I just bought this!
