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.
