No, they don't all have working batteries.. yet.
I have a whole stack of macs, I have been collecting them for years, due to the fact many that I bought had varying problems with diskette boot, drives, lcds, bad backlits, leaking caps, board damage etc.
Thankfully my Mac Portable skills have grown significantly, now having retrofitted the caps, cleaned up the damage and corrected damaged tracks, rebuilt batteries, rewired damaged cables, restored plastics etc, so I've now got many working units that were purchased over the years as bad or damaged.
Yes, makes complete sense why they burned up. I just can't believe how stupid I am... I never even thought to check, I made an assumption.. a bad one at that.
Thankfully the burned up components didn't damaged anything more then superficially.
What to do with um all my mac portables.. I have no idea now. I've gone from having about 5 flakey and 1 solid machine to 12 solid and 6 "to hard basket to be worked on later" machines.
