G - say, I have a 3400 with very good cosmetics but the "black screen" issue - probably a dead logic board/VRAM. I think I have decided not to try and fix this one, since my other Powerbooks (1400s and Pismos) pretty much cover my needs. Let me know if you'd be interested in purchasing that for $10 plus ground shipping at cost. I thought you might want to do a teardown/transplant. The cosmetics are good - it is just missing the back port cover and the little cover on the left side for the ADB port. Hinges are good and tight. No cracks and no deep scratches. On startup, chime and hard drive spin but black screen. I was told this was a two owner machine with the former owner having the same video issue 3 years ago, which was solved with a new cable. Bought it for little and thought I'd take a look to see if an easy fix, but alas, no.
