[QUOTE="manuel.isai, post: 686925, member: 60372"] yesterday i purchased an ibook g4 1.33ghz model a1055 at a thrift store for $20! of course it wasnt in perfect shape... it had a cracked LCD. but i tested it and the computer works fine. after scouring the internet for info on changing the lcd i came across a site on how to remove the the lcd [url]http://www.screentekinc.com/lcd-removal-instructions_en,apple.shtml[/url] easy part done, i removed the screen. now for the hard part... which lcd screens out there are compatible with my "wide" 1.5" 30pin connector? the screen i removed was a chi mei - N141XB-L03 Rev.C1 the options that i seem to have are purchase a new one for over $200 online or try my luck on ebay. before i make that investment does anyone out there know if i can use a "G3" 14" display? from what ive read, im sure ill need to do a bit of hacking... like replacing the video/data cable. if thats an option please explain and forward any online tutorials and what are the disadvantages (as im sure the 30pin had an advantage over the 20pin). also... does it matter if its a N141XB-L0(1-4) instead of a N141XB-L03. does it matter if its a Rev.C(1-4) instead of a Rev.C1? ive also read online that people have use an lcd form "PC's" like the "LTN141XB-L02" 14.1" LCD Screen from the HP Compaq NC6000/NC6220. thanks for sticking with me through this looong post, but i figure if i ask a lot of detailed questions this can become a concise resource for all those with the same woes. thanks in advance for all your collective expert knowledge.
