Has anyone successfully done this on their own? I'm sure the take-apart wouldn't be too difficult, nor the replacement itself (I'm pretty technically inclined, completely dismantled and repaired a 12" G4!), I'm just curious about some parts for the actual repair.

My real question is, does anyone know if the late G5 panels will work in my early Intel iMac? From my research I determined my iMac uses a LM171W02 LG panel, the same as the G5s, but with some numbers at the end that didnt quite match up. I figured they were attributed to release dates or model of the panel, but wasn't sure. Could I potentially use a G5 panel in my iMac?
