This past weekend I stripped down an old fully working PowerBook G3 (Pismo model). It really had became time to lay this old laptop to rest, mainly because a dog chewed through the power supply cable and I didn't feel like replacing it. Anyway that means that I now have the parts for sale. All of these were taken from a fully working PowerBook G3 but are sold without warranty.
Here's what's available -
Screen - The screen has a few dead pixels and the top case is scratched here and there but it's in a good condition considering the age.
Single Stick of 512MB Memory - A single 512MB chip, the maximum this laptop could take.
HDD Caddy - Includes torx screws to secure a HDD to it.
HDD Flex Cable
Inverter Board - This is the one that the display connects to which then connects to the logic board. Sometimes if the screen dies then this can be the problem.
An Airport Compatible Card - While not an original Apple Airport card, this is simply an IBM branded version of the same card. Provides 802.11b wireless access to suitable Macs.
DVD-ROM Drive Module
DC and Sound Card - One of the more common problems with a laptop is a damaged power jack in pre-magsafe days.
Top Case with Track Pad - As you would expect from an 8 year old laptop, slightly scuffed and worn looking.
Keyboard
