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.)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.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?
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'm not suggesting to get this one. I just thought it was "interesting." 8-o
