Replacement screens for several G4 iMacs, sources?

[michaelx74]

I've had several G4 iMacs for years that could use new screens. I was just checking iFixit and found their guide for the fix but of course, they have no screens for parts needs. eBay of course, but thought I'd just reach out and see if anyone might have another direction for me to head.

Well, if they are bad, disassemble them via the iFixit guide and verify the make/model on the back of the panels. You can usually find them on eBay. Googling the model should get you to the specs on Panelook.com which might show alternate compatible model numbers.

Removed. No make/model that I’m seeing here at all. Any additional pointers?

I am assuming there is one more layer of aluminum/black film that will come off the back of the screen (the black tape square typically holds the screen cable to the screen PCB). The back of the panel is typically white, and should have some barcode manufacturer labels on it.

Actually after looking at the iFixIt page, it shows a barcode on the edge. See step 9. That may be a serial number, but maybe there are other codes on the other edge.

Other part numbers listed here for the 17".
