It would be a pretty nice example to play around with if it does. If it doesn't work, it would be a great parts machine anyway, though I'm hoping it works. Also saw a 32MB Kingston aftermarket RAM module installed, so it should have 40 or 48MB in total (I know there's onboard RAM, didn't take a look to see how much was present).Īfter seeing nothing of concern internally, I took another risk and ordered up a known working power brick off ebay. Also saw some signs of a previous battery leaking, though it looks like it was caught in time as it really didn't cause any real damage and the battery that's in there now is an aftermarket replacement that hasn't started leaking yet. Looking at the dates inside, it looks like it was sold in mid to late 1995 and it looks like Apple refurbished it around mid to late 1997. I took out the clock battery while I was in there, probably going to price out a new one if it works. I snapped a couple of pictures after I cleaned it: Īfter I found my torx set, I opened it up.
It also had a combo ethernet and 28.8k modem card in one of the PCMCIA slots, it will probably be tossed in my electronics tote. There is a little bit of wear on the trackpad, but the keyboard has practically no wear.
There really isn't a scratch on it, all I really had to do was clean it up a little bit. When I picked it up, I was a little surprised to see how nice the condition of it was. She wanted $20 for it, but since the posting was up for nearly a month now and I really didn't want to spend $20, I was able to talk her down to $10. I came across this powerbook on craigslist a couple days ago, cosmetically it looked to be in decent shape, but it was untested because the power brick was missing.
