Record of some of the computer tech I deal with so that it's documented at least somewhere.

G4 PowerBook screen replacement

screen model B152EW01

Simon turned up with a spares or repairs he's ebayed and we got to work. We couldn't find any instructions so we just took all the screws out!!

The lid is glued to the body which makes it a bit scruffy when you put it back together but all worked out ok, no hassles really except working out what to do. Even though the outer shells looked the same, the two laptops didn't have exactly the same motherboard but the screen luckily had the same connections.

Sadly there were the dreaded vertical stripes when it came on but that might be damage on the MB from when it got smashed. It's still muc better than literally half the screen being lcd juice.
