As it's believed to be non-functional what are you asking for it?
How do you think the motherboard (logicboard) got short-circuited? If you plug a power supply in then it either will power up, or it won't - it doesn't short-circuit the logicboard by those means, sometimes a component fails when these systems gets powered up, so please explain why you think it has suffered a "short-circuit"?
Any photos, either on here or via PM - to arrange for photos via email?
Is there a battery included?
Have you opened the PowerBook at any time, as-in, would you know what you were doing to take it apart, to disassemble it, correctly, without damaging anything internally and put everything back in there - once you got to where it is now - if you did in fact open it up to see what's inside?
If you've never had it working how would you know if the screen is OK, or the DVD drive, and has it got a HDD fitted in it - if you know?
I just want to know more about this "project" before I decide if I want to take on this "UAP" (Unknown Apple Product).
I think it is short circuited cause there was a light on the connector.
At the beginning it works, then it could work without battery, then died. Nothing new here: many Macbooks start failing like that even today and so I think it started failing from the mainboard. Long time ago I wanted to try to change the daughterboard but I couldn't find anywhere. Maybe there was in US but they don't send here.
Yes, I have photos. Where I can upload?
I bought in UK, but now I'm in Italy. Expedition is quite expensive abroad in EU and maybe UK, I guess from 20-25 euro.
I had just opend to remove hard drive and check the board, but I've never disassemble totally, I didn't check the other side... if you need some cables there you go.
I have also 2x1GB DDR2 ram but I don't know how to test it without another DDR2 laptop. Eventually I could sell ram separately, but I need to find a way to test it.
