I've got you on this....I have 3 Powerbook 180c; multiple years ago entered rabbit hole
Powerbook 180c 1 boots OK but the screen has a line right through the middle of it so the LCD caps have probably dissolved something or at lear need replacement
Powerbook 180c 2 is in pieces but worked except for a torn video cable, now destroyed LCD power board in an effort to to repair...I guess in short working logic board, power board, case bristle with hinges repaired JB Weld
Powerbook 3 worked OK the last time I fired up but needs screen caps need replaced
Shipping wise I guess the one in pieces particularly if you know the piece

Once upon a time, I installed a beta version of Windows 3.1 in DosBox, then moved this install to a real NEC V20 machine, and it worked and ran the game Chips Challenge. An 8088 can not run the game because it demands real mode or standard mode, but I saw the game run. I took the instance for granted and tried other versions of 3.1 beta that support Real Mode, and I have never been able to reproduce it ever again. This situation haunts me to this day, to the point where every few months I'll start installing versions of 3.0 and 3.1 Beta, moving .DLLs around, experimenting to see how I did it, because I can't reproduce it. How did I get Chips Challenge to run on an 8088 machine? This is the closest thing to seeing a ghost the has happened in my life. Granted, I've mashed 3.0a and 3.1 beta files to get a very slick looking 3.0a on an 8088, but I have never been able to get the ghost to come back.
