There was still liquid residues on the motherboard and this had shorted the display circuit. It seems that the computer is still working fine because I was able to boot it in target disk mode just fine.

Several months later I put batteries in it and it works like the other one. My old Palm Pilot Pro was in a dry bag on a boat. A crew member opened the bag, and forgot to close it. This is a wet sailboat, the bag filled with water, and the cell phone and Palm inside were submerged. Both died. Took them apart to dry, the phone revived, but the Palm didn't. So, put it in a drawer and a couple years later, preparing to toss it out, put new batteries in it. It worked just fine. Sold it on Ebay. The voltage going through that motherboard circuitry isn't all that much. There may be no permanent damage. You could try taking it apart, and cleaning the motherboard with alcohol and/or distilled water. Dry the motherboard well, and after a couple days put it together. See what happens.

Re: Need tips for using PowerBook as desktop system
Your almost right, I am using an old VCR for the tuner, however it runs into the Dell 2005FPW 20 inch screen not the PowerBook. The Dell Screen has VGA, DVI and a S plug, you can switch between them using a switch on the front of the display and you can also see TV using it's built in P in P. I have my old PowerBook hooked into the VGA and a Mac Mini hooked into the DVI. The Dell screen looks as good as my partners 20 inch Apple display, but it has more functions. The only thing I hate about it is it says Dell on the front in Silver letters, so I took a Black magic marker and made that black. I noticed a good deal on a 20 Dell LCD with all those connections ... I am SO tempted, and like your marker cover-up plan. Does yours have built-in USB hub, too? ... Is Dell the only one making something like this? ... anyone know? Jean -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Praise for Dual-USB IBOOK
Folks at MyMac.com had nice things to say about the G3 Dual-USB iBook, noting that... ...when it comes to balancing performance, looks, and price, my vote goes to the dual-USB G3 iBook, perhaps the first Mac portable to bring all the joys of mobile computing to the masses without having to make any serious compromises.
