Well, the 1 stick of 512MB of RAM turned out to be 2 sticks of Samsung 256MB. The guy almost didn't want to take them back until I emailed him a link to the official Apple page that said this model only has 1 RAM slot, and even then he said he got both out of 1 iBook G4. Sent it back, and ordered from someone else 1 stick of 1GB of Crucial RAM, so I can max out the RAM to 1.5GB.
New power adapter came in and I swear, it was brand new! Cord wasn't dirty, no scratches on the inverter box, plug had no finger prints or scratches on it. Came with the 2 prong fold out adapter, so I took the extension cord off the old brick, and it works like a charm! The new brick was sold as used.
And I finally got a battery. Brand new, genuine Apple battery. Still had factory plastic on it. Coconut Battery shows it can hold 4400MAh and the factory capacity it 4400MAh.
Total investment so far: $105. Not bad for a 2005 iBook considering these go for about $300 on eBay without working batteries.
