noramlly fixing a laptop is very expensive, and most of the time not worth it.... esp for an older machine like this it will prob be in the high 100's like 800-900 you can get a new ibook for a little bit more....
i wouldn't, i would just get an ibook, you'll know it will work.... :)
 
Search ...

...on eBay for a replacement screen or a fried pb of your modell with screen intact and do it yourself. PBfixit has nice online take-apart manuals. You will learn to care about your machine yourself. That´s the only cheap way to do, if a warranty is not falling in any more. And don´t forget to sell the spareparts on eBay, too, someone might be looking after them, and you earn a dime.
 
be awear those tibooks have a low res screen and rage graphics, aka no QE.
