Cwb thanks for your response. Very helpful. I had one of those G series PowerBooks. Flash Player fried it to a crisp....fan mayhem. Interested in some more info on chargers, OEM, part # if you can.

Emissive backlit,at least 4MB, wifi, and a legit charger. Pretty bare bones I guess.

Watered= Warez. Spell check effed me again.

Shawn , that mk2 looks clean. What I need I think is a Mk2 with a DVD. No need for GPS,Wwan. I appreciate the recovery DVDs. I'm not into watered software. I'd prefer less than 10k in hours, but take your word as to 30k not being too many for a CF-31. I've never even owned a PC. Been Mac since 84. B...

There was a CF-31WBL78LM listed on Craigslist for $340. It was in Washington D.C. , with not enough photos or specs listed for my liking. Guy was a locksmith of some type, or so his email signature suggested. Seemed like a dick in my email responses. Didnt want to be bothered with my inquiries. Didn...

Thanks for your replys guys! I am planning to buy a whole unit "used". Some that are for sale are in need of parts/repair. That is why I asked for help in getting an articulated callout of parts. If you can send me one, or lead me to the correct link, I'd appreciate it. Thnx, Tom
