I purchased a 12in 1.3 Ghz Powerbook with a broken screen on ebay. I kept watching and finally purchased a replacement screen that supposable worked for and Al 12in G4 with rates of .8 to 1.5 Ghz.
I tried to take the PB apart and ran into trouble right away in that I was unable to remove the screw that goes from the memory compartment to the keyboard. I finally gave in and took it to Compusa. They were able to get the PB apart after several days work and then determined that the pigtail that goes from the computer to the screen is about 1/2 in too short. If they order a screen from Apple it will cost almost $500. I asked if they could extend the pigtail, but they say it can't be done. Do I have any options other than reselling the lcd on line and trying to make sure I get the right one next time or paying big bucks to apple to get the right screen.
Thanks for any help.
