I repaired the LCD of the ibook clamshell. I posted it because I thought it was a very interesting hack. See the link blog for details... https://ameblo.jp/keroxiee1016/entry-12730822252.html

Thanks for sharing, I have one of these machines, too, so I’ve saved a link to your blog article for if / when this happens to my machine.
