Description (updated on 01/04/2011 at 02:35pm):
I formatted the 40GB harddrive, reinstalled a fresh copy of OS 10.3 and did all updates to Operating system. So it is now on 10.3.9.
Computer is running as new!
Wireless PCI Cardbus included - and is the only thing installed on the computer. Have some software on external HD if required.
DVD drive still works as new as does everything else on this beauty.
POWERBOOK G4 867MHz
1GB RAM
40GB Harddrive
Firewire 400
2 x USB Ports
S-Video Out
DVI-OUT
Line-IN
This cost me €3,200 when I bought it new from Apple Store in Galway.
Grab a piece of history that is still in PWO.
15" screen. No dead pixels.
Even the battery still works, but recommend running from mains.
Will include laptop case and small pair of headphones in sale.
I stud on top of power supply connection a while back and had it fixed - that's why tape is on top as in photo, but still works perfectly!!

analogeater says 29/10/2010 3:04 pm (1 year ago):Hey Elvisn,
the Specs are in the ad... 867MHz, 1GB RAM, 40GB HD, running OSX 10.3.9.
Will charge the battery today, and leave her runnin to check the battery life... My guess would be about an hour but will let ya know later on when I run the test.
I think you can upgrade ram to 2GB but will also check this out. Never noticed anything regarding temperature when running for long time...
elvisn asked a question 29/10/2010 3:10 pm (1 year ago):cheers for getting back to me,. if you havent noticed it getting really hot, then your one doesnt have that problem, which is good,. can the battery be changed do you know, would need longer battery life,. as its less than 1GHz what does it run like? is it quick, can it run any heavyish duty programs, like photoshop or flash, play games etc,. Sorry for all the questions, im just curios as im interested,. also where are you based?

Yeah the battery can be changed - you can get them on ebay. Runs really well - as new after I formatted the harddive and reinstalled the Operating system.
