Powerbook 1400c...with backwards keyboard

[Kyvinaria]

I found a Powerbook 1400c (Active matrix! and 133Mhz) at the recycler today. It's in rough shape, the screen has a couple dents and it's scuffed. but the really bizzare thing is this: Whoever disassembled this thing last must have been on drugs or something when they put the Keyboard back on, because it's backwards :-/ (as in, the space bar is facing the screen). Strange... I'll have to wait until I find my Powerbook AC adapter ti0 test it though. It looks intact.

How the hell did they do that? I can't think of how it would fit backwards......

Oh man, eBay that sucker as it, it's some sort of prototype! Let's hope that when you take it apart the keyboard's ribbon connector isn't plugged in and undamaged.

Well, they didn't actually plug the ribbon cable in, and it looks ok. The hard Drive is missing, but I've got a few of those on hand, so no worries. Doesn't look like there's much RAM though....

I think this scenario redefines the word idiot.

...Or maybe they just did what they read in "Installing a keyboard backwards in a Mac Powerbook 1400c For Dummies"
