[QUOTE="sashax415, post: 28201"] I actually HAVE the g4 powerbook already as a replacement.. i got it right after the other one broke so i really just want to sell this one as is... The guy at apple told me off the top of his head that to have the inverter board replaced it would cost about 300 bucks... not because the board itself is expensive, but because of the labor it would require to open up the laptop... he said this is true of pretty much all laptop repairs..??... Anyway, that seemed kinda steep to me so I asked how much it would be if I just purchased the inverter board myself and had someone outside fix it for me.... and he said $700.00!!!!! :eek: The part itself would cost more than twice the part installed??... it makes no sense to me WTH right?.. i dunno.. he gave me some kind of reasoning that i didnt understand and i just got out of there.. I mean already having a replacement, I just dont want to deal with it. Sooo.. anyone have a better idea of what this computer might be worth AS IS??? thanks :) [/QUOTE]
