pre-G3 Mac Laptops CLOSEOUT

Most recent revision for this page dated Oct 24 2011.

Look at my G3, G4 and later Macs page for later model laptops.

On this page I have a variety of pre-G3 68K Mac laptops and their parts. MOst are used parts or used laptops sold for parts - there's just NO DEMAND for working 68K Mac laptops at any reasonable price; but due to age it's very difficult to find or repair these laptops to offer them as working.I've already discarded a number of these; don't delay your purchase. Period.

In addition, I have some unused Apple service parts, including LAPTOP PARTS, from a repair facility on another page. They are mostly internal cables, some case and plastic parts, and a few circuit boards (inverters, etc.). SOme unused case parts are on this Web page. Also, I have some disassembled pre-G3 Mac laptop parts. Check those pages for details.

Powerbook 3400/200 in original box with many accessories. Buy this to restore. The PB 3400 is in good cosmetic condition but does not boot; the screen shows the cursor and the trackpad moves the cursor; the hard drive spins up. There's a CD-ROM drive and floppy drive, both removable. AC power supply, battery charger module, and two LiIon batteries (assume dead). There's a SCSI drive cable, video adapter (to VGA connector), and the network/phone adapter. Even the accessory case that fits the CD-ROM bay. Also the PowerBook manual (no CD). Inside the PowerMac is a RAM module, there's a hard drive also. If you have a 3400, this is a way to obtain a nearly complete 3400 packaged system; or for parts. We've priced this package, AS IS no further work, at a price below the value of the parts at $49 plus shipping. Shipping weight 19 lbs.

Powerbook 520c, untested, intact No "broken hinges", looks good with some light scuffing. Have not removed parts, don't know what's inside. Can't test (no power supply), no batteries. Sold AS IS for $29 plus shipping, you get parts to fix yours.

Mac Laptop SCSI and other cables

For SCSI cables, some Macs use the typical Apple SCSI connector, a DB-25 25 pin connector. See my Mac hard drives section for those cables. Some Mac laptops have a square connector with a lot of pins. This is called the HDI-30 connector. Some laptops have a video connector.

For serial (printer or modem) cables, check my Mac Parts cable section. These are cables with the Apple DIN-8 8-pin connector. Also look on that page for ADB cables (mouse and keyboard).

The "power cable" is an external A/C power supply, look here on this page for those.
