[QUOTE="Lukeno94, post: 1663508, member: 327927"] It is running 10.5.8, yeah. I'm aware that it'll be a lot more limited, but I did want to play around with a Powerbook G4 anyway. It was a very reasonable price considering that it was complete, even with the faults it had (most of which I've now rectified) - everything now works perfectly bar the screen (although I will get a proper charger to replace the cheap third-party one it currently has at some point.) Put it this way - I've seen units advertised as totally dead and with smaller screens for rather more than this one cost me. Yeah, I posted about the PG3 Lombard last year, but never did get around to trying to get a replacement logic board for it and it has stayed at the bottom of my queue. A member here did offer me a bottom unit replacement for it, but I never got around to taking them up on that, and this was a year ago. As to the external display; I'll probably try that again now it has a keyboard that actually works. [/QUOTE]
