Hi All,
I have a 17inch G4 Powerbook 1.67ghz Superdrive with 1.5gb of ram. I recently had the logic board replaced under warranty so the laptop is as god as it has ever been. Sadly though my screen has just developed a fault - it works but there is a pixel width line from top to bottom on the right hand side. I am looking to replace the screen but quotes are coming in at around £550: for this money I am tempted to just upgrade.
My question is, is it worth me repairing the screen before I try to sell it on? If so, how can I find a fair priced replacement unit? I am confident I could change the screen myself but need to know what unit to buy.
Secondly, in good condition (ie - new screen and logicboard) how much can I expect towards my new laptop from the sale of it?
Thanks in advance
Jon
