I am looking for an Ibook G4 Or Macbook, I am needing one asap because my Logic Board has failed in my G4. I would prefer a G4 so I could transfer my HD and other parts onto it. Please post what ever you have and we can go from there! Thanks All!

even with a failed logic board, you can recover the contents of your hard drive through a target mode.

Also, the logic boards can be fixed with a shim or bit of plastic jammed under the board. Have yet to try it on my bricked G4, but have been meaning to.

I did the logic board shim trick for about 5 months then it quit again, so we tried to warm up the logic board so it would drop down and the solder we re attach, but no such luck. The board on it is toast.
