Using one Powerbook G4 as monitor for another

[karmicgumbo]

Hi,

I am new to this forum, an old guy who is not very tech savy. I have two Powerbook G4s that are about 4-5 years old, a 17" and a 15". My 17" 's screen is half gone, but the 15" is fine. Is there a way to use the screen on the 15" as an external monitor so I can work from my 17" ? I was able to hook my 17" up to a dedicated external monitor in another city and it worked great, but the cables I used to do that with were obvious.

thanks,

karmic

As only the iMac 27" can be used as an extra monitor and all the other Macs don't support some kind of video in, you can use Screen Recycler for your purpose.
