Bought this from a fellow muggoer about 4 months ago, worked fine until it stopped charging. I suspect the internal power supply is kaput.
Everything else works great (no dead pixels on screen, CD-ROM works great, no missing keys, no problems with the touchpad, battery holds 2 hours and 30 min charge...)
Has 320MB of ram, 6GB HD no Airport card, Mac OS X 10.3.9
Asking $200.
I put that price up, but I have no idea how much it's worth with the existing problem, and if I should sell it for parts instead...
Anyways any sugegstions/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx!
UPDATE:
After checking out the www.powerbookmedic.com webiste, I noticed that the power thingy replacement part for this machine is $29.95.
Sounds like you need to have the "DC-in board" replaced. It's a common problem.
