I bought an old ibook G3, but for some reason smells really bad, I am not sure if is BO or some component inside the ibook, maybe something to hot inside ? or I don`t know, does anybody have seen something like this? and I can`t get rid of the smell, I tried cleaning it, and some cologne, but it does not work, any advice?

It smells bad because it's burnt up inside. Almost every one of those junkers has failed. We've dumped the remaining ones in the trash can. OSX is a great system, but Apple makes some of the junkiest hardware in the universe.
