I have provided a detailed description of this item's condition for your benefit.Please read it carefully, so you know exactly what you are buying, and the terms of sale.
Vintage Macintosh PowerBook 165cModel #M4990
Listing includes the computer, a new aftermarket power supply, and system restore floppy disks
68030 33MHz Processor12MB RAM120MB Hard Drive (115MB formatted size)1.4MB floppy disk drive
Powers on and boots to System 7.1
Known faults:
The front portion... of the display case (over the ports) has a larger amount of "separation" than would be expected (seems to be a common issue with this model)The battery does not hold a charge, and I suspect the PRAM battery likely also needs replacementThe LCD has some subtle fading around the edges. Like every passive-matrix display, it also shows some lines around the edges of open windows, etc, which vary in visibility based on how the contrast is adjusted.I acquired this computer many years ago when I was in the Mac business. I never used it personally, and it has been in (climate controlled) storage since at least 2005. I have described its cosmetic condition to the best of my ability, but I have not tested it for functionality beyond powering it on and reinstalling the OS. This is a very old machine, and you should anticipate that it may need maintenance/parts replaced in the future simply due to its age.
As I have limited/no knowledge of this computer's history, and no longer have all of the peripherals/software necessary to fully assess all of its functions, it is being sold "for parts or not working" with no specific guarantees. Returns will not be accepted and no refunds will be given. Please do not buy it unless these terms are acceptable to you.
Computer will ship in a FedEx laptop box to ensure it arrives at your location in good condition.
