iBook g4 12" 1.33ghz HDD, RAM, & battery

Just got an iBook g4 12" 1.33ghz for free, it's missing from what I can tell is the HDD, and everything to hook it up, the ram, and the battery. The model # is A1055.

Do you mean the internal hard drive? There is an internal cable. But you must have discovered that if it's up and running. Replacing the internal hard drive is a difficult procedure.

Or are you talking about an external hard drive (which does need a cable)? If you're talking about an external hard drive, I strongly recommend one with a FireWire 400 interface (faster and bootable).

will a 14" ibook battery fit a 12" iBook?


No. They are different sizes.

However, a model A1055 is a 14-inch iBook.

So yours is either a 14-inch model or you have the wrong model number.
