[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1419382, member: 56379"] Honestly...forget about it. The computer is worth so little...it's really not worth putting money into it. In fact...for the cost of the parts you may need...you might actually be able to buy a fully functional iBook of the same exact model. You would be surprised how little you can pick one of these things up off of Craig's List (if you keep your eyes "peeled")!;) On the other hand...if you REALLY want to try to get this computer to work...getting a working DC-in board would be the place to start...and fixing the wire that got broken. Of course all of this is a "crap-shoot" if something else is wrong (like the logic board). Just part of the "fun" of trying to fix a busted computer.;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
