Do you think a completely working powerbook duo 2300c (with charger and a battery that still holds charge for 30-40 minutes) for a g3 ibook is a fair trade?
As long as the iBook G3 has a charger (or if you have one that will work,) and it is in working condition. I think it would be a good trade. 😀
Oops. After re-reading your earlier post I realized I made a mistake in my judgment. (Must have been tired when I read it or something.)
It would probably be a good idea to add a few goodies to make it more of a "fair" trade.
But if you can spare around $30-$40 you could try to get one of these:
This one says it's not a reflow. Meaning it hasn't had the need (yet) to do the operation like you did on your G4. It might not ever need that job done if it's not one of the effected iBooks.
This one is a clamshell! 😀 And from what I read in the description, all it should need is a Operating System installed. (And maybe replace the handle.)

i'll go along with your suggestion, too, i'm not getting rid of the duo. it's been with me for 10 years now, after all. however, i'll post a new thread about the ideas i have for replacing the hdd with something more silent and effective.. the old 500 meg ibm drive is throwing bad sectors at me like crazy.

Please assume that our are free of mold
