Other's misfortune == my gain :)

Readers of my version 0.1 Blog will remember seeing sad photos of my G4 laptop with crazy post-modern coloured stripes on it's screen (fault not feature). Well since my friend Ian's G4 laptop just blew it's motherboard he has kindly donated me his (nearly fully functional) screen!

After a bit of fun with a torx T8 and T6 I now have a fully working G4 laptop! (I hope I used enough heatsink compound...)

The screen does have a few bodgy lines at the bottom of the screen which appears to be caused by the cracked frame (a common problem on original TiBooks) - I need to use some super-super glue or something to keep the hinge together.

The google search you can see is a few million results for "powerbook G4 cracked screen frame" ;)
