Hi,
Just scored today a complete PWB 165 (including Targus carrying bag, and battery case) all for the total amount of 5 € (around 7 $)
In working order (System 7.1) but with a faulty screen (contrast trouble) not a big deal.
This is a car boot / trunck sale, hence the price.
As a bonus, found in the case, a wireless Belkin F5d6020f card 😉

TK, how many and what type of cap? I've got a 140 with the same problem and would love to get it back up again.

change the caps in the display Caps in the display or inverter board ?
I removed the inverter board yesterday, clean it a bit and used a soldering iron to re flow some welds.
Now is far better, i have a better display, but after 15 minutes i have got a very white screen with few contrast.
