Defunct iMac DVSE 400MHz
in [UK Mac]
|
From: Stephen on 5 May 2010 15:48 I have a defunct, graphite iMac DVSE 400MHz. I don't know precisely what is wrong with it, probably the PSU or something like that. All I know is it is dead. Is there a market for something like this, as spare parts or something, or is it simply bin fodder?

Oh well! What's wrong with give away free? Jan

I am having to clear space because of an impending new arrival to the family, I don't really have time to go faff around. Sticking something on eBay is not much bother, but dragging things around to find homes for them is not something I can get caught up in. If anyone is interested and wants to collect they are more than welcome. The keyboard is there and fully functioning, as is the original, much hated, puck mouse. It is even in its original box, which is in pretty good condition itself. The machine itself looks OK, the grey trim around the DVD drive was taken off, to ease the removal of discs, but I think I have it somewhere. The hard drive was changed for a 40GB one some time ago, but probably still works. I guess there might be something useful there for someone who is trying to restore a working, but cosmetically challenged one. |
