Which connector?

So, do you mean it worked with a battery inserted (powered/charged) AND the Power Supply Unit (PSU)?

Which "
daughterboard" are you referring to? AFAIK, there is only the main logicboard, and the DC-In board which also has the sound chip on it!

Either an online photo website or you can send me a PM with your email and I will contact you so you can send me some photos.

So, if the cost of "shipping" (i.e. Expedition?) is 20-25 Euros then what else do you want for the PowerBook?

Well it could be useful for parts, but it seems I won't know exactly what parts are OK until it got here, if I was to buy it.

Usually RAM is fairly resilient, but I have had a few sticks of bad RAM over the years I have owned PowerBooks, so nothing is definitely OK, until it has been checked thoroughly!
