Hi Swappers, A friend of mine upgraded to a MacBook Unibody (lucky duck), and she gave me her old iBook to repair and/or sell. Its only issue is kernel panics, and after various HD tests, OS reinstalls, memory scans, etc, I'm reasonably sure they're caused by bad RAM, in this case the RAM soldered to the motherboard. Though it can work for weeks on end without a panic, sometimes it'll have five in a row, so this is technically a fixer-upper. I thought about throwing Linux on there and applying the "badram" patch to overwrite bad sectors in memory, but that's more work than I can deal with right now. If you want to try that, if you know of a Mac OSX-equivalent to that patch, or if it's some other cause entirely that you can handle, then you'll be getting a great deal!
Anyway, now you know the story, so here are the specs: 12" iBook G4 1.33 GHz 512 MB RAM 40 GB HDD CD-RW Combo drive AirPort Extreme OS X Tiger - updated to 10.4.11 (it originally shipped with 10.4.2, so no disks included) Good LCD, no blemishes or stuck pixels Good battery (~3 hrs.) Original A/C adapter Case is in very good condition, but it's missing two rubber feet. This belonged to a grad student and was treated very well, mostly serving as a desktop. I'm asking $150 shipped for the whole kit and kaboodle, but if no one takes me up on it, individual parts will be up for sale next week. PayPal is fine, although any fees with their new transfer policy will be covered by the buyer. USPS money orders will work, too. This will ship USPS in a well-padded, reinforced box, with insurance and delivery confirmation. Let me know if you're interested!
