    Good question! I have three left. These are going to contribute to the retirement fund, so they're going to be a bit more expensive.

    I'm glad it worked out. Did they arrive in good shape? This was part of my Throw In More Bubble Wrap project.

    Agreed. My iBook is pretty rough, but it still runs and has a nice bright screen. It's running one of the oldest batteries in the collection and I can get a few hours out of it. I just got a notice from USPS that the package should arrive on Saturday by 9:00 PM. Here's the tracking number...

    Oh my goodness! I threw a preliminary charge on both batteries before I packet them up (they'll be in the post tomorrow) and they charged without a hiccup and ran just fine. The dates on the boxes are 2006, so they're not super old, and they seem to be working great. I don't have too many left...

    Howdy! I'm back in town. My PayPal address thing is: btherieau@mac.com. It's gonna be $100 even for two batteries. I'll start testing tonight, so in the meanwhile, please send me your address so I can get the USPS labels started. Thanks!

    Good morning. They're third-party NOS and have never been used. I've been pulling them out of their boxes and have been charging them in my own iBook to see if they work, take a charge, and hold a charge. Also, I'm out of town right now so there might be some delay. PayPal is fine.

    Howdy! As RJKUCIA mentioned, I have NOS third party Clamshell iBook batteries that I saved from a local school district's e-waste bin. I'm going to list them later this summer, but in the meanwhile I've been offering them to 68kMLA members in need for $50, shipping included in the United States...

    Shipping Batteries

    Friends, I have a question but I'm not sure how to put it, so stay with me... I've happened upon a cache of clamshell iBook batteries that have never been used. I think there's ten available, which may even include one or two Apple batteries mixed in with the third-party units. I pulled one of...

    Clamshell SE and Snowball 17”

    I’d love to find a good home for them, since I don’t need that many. I suppose I should put them on the Trading Post except I don’t know what a fair price might be.

    Powerbook G3 PDQ/Wallstreet SSD

    I put a Kingspec 64GB PATA SSD (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4YU3YX3508&Tpk=9SIA4YU3YX3508) in my Clamshell iBook last week and had the same problem. I made sure to copy over the contents of the existing drive and I thought I blessed the System folder, but it...

    Clamshell SE and Snowball 17”

    I just came into possession of a half dozen NOS third-party batteries for the Clamshell iBook! It turns out that the local school district didn't want to pay the recycling fees and my man on the inside knew I was looking for one. Now that I put an SSD in the iBook (follow ifixit's instructions...

    Clamshell SE and Snowball 17”

    Friends, I’ve ignored the hobby for a while, spending my energies lately looking for a new job and basking in newly wedded bliss. The funny thing is that the hobby will not be ignored... The 17-inch 800MHz iMac was “obtained” from the e-waste recycling area at the dump. It works perfectly, and...

    PowerBook G4 Aluminium disassembly?

    I just replaced the logic board in a 15-inch Powerbook. I usually grab heavy card stock and fold some packing tape over and stick it down stick side up. That way, I can stick the screws down in the order and arrangement they were removed. The fiddly little hook that secures the front of the...
