    I have one of these. I have no way to test it. I sure hope it is worth anything close to that. What you guys think?

    guess you could put up as not tested and try to get $40+. too bad you can't test it. i wouldn't even know where to begin to attempt to test. perhaps someone else has better answers for you.

    I always try to test laptops before I take them apart. Bought the universal adapter kit for like $30 on ebay great investment.But if you can get $40 for it in an AS-IS condition that's a lot more than scrap value. That's the route I would take myself.

    One of the main causes of failure in iMacs has always been overheating, even with the original CRT iMacs. When the logic boards fail, it is usually from capacitors overheating and breaking down. So even if you can't test your board, look closely at the caps for signs of leaking, bulging or both.
