[dorkbotnyc-blabber] PowerBook 12" G4 Spare Parts free for the taking in Midtown.

[William Ward]

Dorkbot Folken:

I have a couple of dead 12" PowerBook G4 notebooks that are useful for  
parts.  I don't have the time to repair them or patience part them out  
on eBay.

One is a 12" DVI edition, and the other is the older VGA edition.   
Each include batteries, Airport Extreme cards, all parts (a few screws  
are missing,) and a power supply.

The DVI edition has a bad inverter circuit on the motherboard, but  
otherwise boots.  The VGA edition's power button connector was ripped  
off the logic board, taking the solder pads with it.  I attempted to  
short them but had no luck getting it to power on.  I assume both  
screens are in good shape, but cannot test them.

I ask only that some bright bunny comes and gets them.  Drop me a line  
at wwward at pobox.com if you'd like to get together.  Since these were  
junk machines, I'm out nothing but my time.  I would appreciate it if  
interested parties could meet me in midtown, preferably near Penn  
Station in my neighborhood.  My apartment isn't large enough to be  
collecting nonfunctional stuff, y'know?

** For the purposes of privacy, I am not including the hard disks as I  
cannot erase them at this time.
