I noticed Leopard on there and this got me thinking...
Why doesn't someone write up a script or something that will remove x86 code so as to have our own powerpc Snow Leopard?

Thanks beachycove and Byrd. The battery does not look to be leaking any fluids. In fact it looks like it just came out of factory shrink wrap. I'll try the battery revival remedies…

@ Bunsen: WOW-I'd kill for one of those. Too bad they're probably really expensive if I can even find one.

Hmm... I managed to find a PAS 16 without the interface or cable for $5. Should I take it and pray that I can find the interface/cable?
Or should I take one of the following?

My iBook has the same problem.
I might be tempted to rip it open and re-solder the GPU when I have some time. I've only had it a few weeks before it failed, but during that time I…
