Oh christ no! :o

The LVDS cable probably is fine, its more likely the LVDS connector on the logic board side of things. The backlight driver is an LP8550 - commonly available these days, and pretty easy to replace with even a basic hot air station - flood the chip with flux, heat it, remove it, clean the pads...

Water damage won't be the display, it'll be the LVDS connector, or the backlight driver IC.

Currently the admins and founders have all chipped in, which is enough to keep us going, there's no mad scramble for funding just yet. However, we are due to discuss the matter of funding and donations at our next board meeting, hopefully we'll be able to report back with a more concrete plan...

Amended the title to better reflect the toolset :)

Yes, RS always say there are plenty, but the moment you look in the basket, they're backordered to hell.

@fogWraith could this go on the garden?

That assumes you can get hold of any - most of the ones i have are stockpiled, anything from Mouser that's a tantalum is about 2 years backordered (!)...

My bad then, i thought it was still based on a G4 for some reason!

TVSAT Electronics: https://shop.tvsat.com.pl/en_GB/index Based in Poland I've bought whole tubes of 74 series logic off these guys, it's all good stuff, new-old-stock. Threre's very little they don't stock, and the prices are fantastic - definitely come recommended!

Silicon-Ark Electronics: https://www.silicon-ark.co.uk/ Based in Peterborough, UK These guys are the only people i know of that sell the bourns R/C network DIP-20's used in the Macintosh SE & SE/30, for just £1 each (New-old-stock) instead of Mouser's £5+ each! They hold a lot of ex-military...

Please add to this list, if you come across a supplier of vintage/retro parts. Can be an ebay seller, an independant shop or 'my cousin knows a guy'. I'll kick this off: Unicorn Electronics (aptly named): https://www.unicornelectronics.com/prod.htm Based in Pennsylvania, USA. Good selection...

Stickied this! :)

If like me you're into the reverse engineering of stuff like the SPLD PAL/HAL chips used on early 68k macs, you might be interested in this - DuPAL https://github.com/DuPAL-PAL-DUmper It's not just software, it's also an open source hardware project you can build yourself. Once assembled, you...

Same place as all Linux - /etc/X11/xorg :)

For now, i'd say post in the EU section, as iirc you're still part of the single market which means cross border shipping shouldn't be as much of an issue as it would be for say, someone in the UK now outside the single market, looking in through the shop window of things that are now...
