I own a repair shop and we also breakdown and part out machines for eBay.
A kernel panic then with lines on the screen again point to the gpu. I wouldn’t continue to waste your time. These are plagues with this issue. Part the machine out. And easily make a 3-400. Use powerbookmedic.com to get all the correct part numbers of what you have by serial number.
Sell the following.
Board and chip as a combo. Unless it’s an i7 then take the chip off.
Gpu. As is auction. You could take The chance of selling it working but I’m willing to bet it’s beat.
Display. How was the color when it was on? Again some have hazing and yellowing issues with age
Super drive
Ram
Glass ( not as bad as you think to ship)
Backlight board
Have fun.
