about 1/4th of the right side of my imac g5's display is gone. sometimes it flickers, but usually it only shows vertical lines and has shifted part of the screen to where it isn't visible anymore. if i take a screenshot, the problem won't show up in the picture. is this problem fixable?

Sounds like there's a problem with the flex cable that goes from the system board to your display panel. It's probably just loose, but it's hard to say without actually opening the machine. If you feel comfortable doing so, check the walkthroughs at http://www.ifixit.com, otherwise, you're looking at a trip to the Apple Store.
