My co-worker needs help with his iBook.

I switched when the Mac Mini came out, so seeing this iBook from 2001 is pretty interesting. :cool:


Anyways, he's having problems with the LCD that when he opens it all the way the LCD turns off. Any ideas for DIY fix? He also wants to know if he can add Wi-Fi?

Thanks in advance.

It's pretty simple to replace, I just had to take apart the LCD for the ibook I'm building for my girlfriend because the microphone cable snapped so I had to solder it back to together. Cables are cheap like this one. If you wan't pm me and ill make a pictorial for you of the LCD disassembly.

Airport card is also easy to add, the cards are decently priced too.
