Greetings,
I have a 500MHz white iBook that a cat dumped a glass of milk on a few years ago. It still works, but the screen is fried; it comes on but it's too dark to make anything out. We use it hooked up to an external monitor right now. After the incident, we sent it to Small Dog (where we bought it from as a refurb) and they cleaned it up and said the issue was with the video card, I think, but I've lost all those e-mails.... Anyway, it wasn't a motherboard or logic board or whatnot.
Recently I came into possession of another 500MHz iBook that has other issues which make it unsuitable for daily use (it turns off randomly). However, it has a perfectly suitable screen. I'd like to swap it for the bad one, so I have a laptop again instead of a keyboard tethered to a 20 in. display.
If there's anyone there who's done this operation before and can offer me a step-by-step guide, or direct me to one on the web, I'd apprecaite it. I prefer to be e-mailed directly to squirrelhenge AT gmail DOT com.
Thanks,
Eric
