[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1663501, member: 56379"] Yes…I'm sure getting access to replace the cable wasn't much fun. As a "DIY" person you probably know…all we can do is make our best guess at what's wrong…then replace suspected bad parts with good parts…then test. And we keep doing this until we find the problem. Of course with a very old Apple laptop like a Powerbook G4…one must be careful how much time, effort, and money is invested. I'm not going to say…"Jeez Man…get a newer computer!" What I will say is…if you really like or need to use this Powerbook G4…it could be very possible to purchase a replacement model just like it for a small amount of money. Or at least purchase the parts needed (like a whole display panel for example). I know that you probably want to spend as little money as possible. I guess it all depends how important it is to get this computer running. - Nick [/QUOTE]
