Quirks

• The display has a noticeable scratch.
• The trackpad will sometimes either not work or jump all over the place when touched. It is recommended to use an external mouse.

History

• The machine arrives at my parents' place from an eBay seller. One key on the keyboard is dislodged, and an 802.11b AirPort card is already present.
• The incorrect materials that were shipped with the clamshell iBook G3 are identified as matching this model.
• The dislodged key is removed and reinserted into the keyboard. No further issues occur.
• 📈 A 512 MiB RAM stick is installed (? -> ?).
• The computer is transported to my apartment.
