I just bought a PowerBook G4 on ebay (15 inch). Honestly I am baffled, It has no ports on it at all. The only ports it has is the slot loading dvd drive and the A/C adapter. I am so confused. I can't do anything at all. Help?

Err look on the oposite side of the machine to the slot drive, or the same side as the power lead.

Is the motherboard gone or something?

If this is a Titanium PBG4, the ports will be under a door along the back edge.
