    Another question

    Is this computer worth fixing. It's a Apple Powerbook G4 Titanium (2004-2005) The list of problems:

    1) charger did not work - bought new one
    2) one of the usb ports does not work
    3) right click does not work
    4) screen went into a bunch of colored lines ( but it came back on when I plugged in a monitor)
    5) The wireless doesn't work

    These are the things I have found so far. I've had the computer for about 2 1/2- 3 weeks.

    To be clear, we're talking about one of these, right?



    If that's the case then no, it's not worth repairing.

      On a re-read, I just noticed this one. Try holding the "Control" key down while clicking the trackpad.

          Sell it on Craigslist and get something else, the G4s aren't even supported anymore. You can probably get $100 for it just because it's an Apple PowerBook.

            Yeah, the mouse only has 1 button.
