Damaged G4 Powerbook

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.... 🙂
 
I just looked on PBfixit.com, a new screen for a TiBook is $599, plus you may have a dead mobo due to the coffee spill.... I'd say no go.
 
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.
 
It will cost a lot to repair, but for only $43 you could just use it for a bit of extra storage space (or something to put hot pots on 😀 )

This is assuming it even runs at all. Watch out for as-is sales.
