Hello, I recently bought a PowerBook G4 DVI (800Mhz, 512MB, 40GB) with both hinges broken. The display is in good shape, I just had to solder one of the inverter wires coming from it...
My understanding is that the Pre-DVI Titaniums use a lower-resolution 15.2" LCD. I believe they are physically the same size, and the hinges are the same.
My question is:
Are both of these displays interchangeable (as far as cabling goes)? I am looking at a display from a 500Mhz PowerBook and also a 500Mhz Parts Unit (wont turn on, screen/hinges are good) and I'd like to take their LCDs with hinges and attach it to my DVI PowerBook. Is this possible? I understand that if it worked correctly, I'd be running a lower resolution, but hey...
Thinking now, though, I could just remove the good hinges from the display/parts machine and place them in the display of my PowerBook, which I already removed the bad hinges from...
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
