Dude, I can't guarantee that Mercury Undecided

You didn't buy it from me, Patience aka; (NightBird) aka; (mystychat) bought mine and I recieved positive FB on the deal. As a matter of fact, I have 100% Positive Feedback on ebay http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=gamma742

I can only guarantee the parts that are mine, the AA cap and the cable.

This was listed as a Sale [S] in the Marketplace.

If you want to trade a functional 200SBi for these parts, that sounds like a pretty good deal.

Here are my terms:

You ship me the 200SBi (you pay shipping).

I receive and test your 200SBi.

a) If it tests good

I will send you my Cap & Cable. (I pay shipping)
b) If it test bad Sad

I return your 200SBi ( Angry

I pay shipping Angry

)

I would love to see a black brick work but unfortunately all of the bricks I know of in the world, only 3 are fully functional and 1 functions but the the graphics are so bad on that one it looks worst than a 4 MB voodoo1.

Of these 4 bricks, all of them are green. Every "Black" brick I have ever heard of is non-functional as a brick.

I think the black bricks are all bad. I think they all had problems and were recalled by Q3D and replaced with green ones. This is only my opinion, I would be afraid to own a functional "Black" brick for fear that I would fire it up one day and it would report 4 SBi cards instead of the brick it once was. See the above pic for details.

I don't think my cap will help. After speaking with Gary, he has tried a known good cap on his Black brick and 2 others, one of which was Oscar's prior to shipping it to him. In all three cases, it did not help. I too had a bad brick from computer_md (a black one). It was later exchanged for a good "green" one.

I don't see any reason to waste money on shipping if we're not going to have success.

I suppose there is a small chance it would work, a very small chance.

I will try all!
