Picture of the machine

CPU: 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4 7447A

Memory: 1 GB

Storage: 80 GB HDD

GPU: ATI Radeon 9700 with 64 MB of VRAM

Keyboard Layout: German QWERTZ

OS: Void Linux

Condition: Working perfectly

This machine came with a busted screen which I had to replace. I looked up the model number of it on a site called PowerBookMedic but it turned out it wasn't the exact same screen. They were almost identical but the backlight cable runs out of a different place but I made it work. It works perfectly now.

06.04.2023 - One of the RAM modules died and I put a 1 GB one in its place so now it has 1.5 GB instead of 1.

Update: Now it has only 1 GB again because I took the 1 GB module and put it in my 12" PBG4
