    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.

    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...
