Sounds like an alignment issue there with your repair. Yes, send photos when you can.
Ok, firstly I just want to start off by saying sorry for the late reply, life has gotten busy lately, but I should be able to work on the powerbook 170 some more in the foreseeable future.
Secondly, I would to say that yes one of the posts that is used to hold the screw in place, was out of alignment. I had ago at fixing it and I managed to sort it out...
only to then over correct and make it slightly misaligned in the other direction. I am going to have a go at fixing it one final time and then I will be done with it.
After that I want to look at sorting out the screen maybe, or even work on troubleshooting the motherboard side of things, or even both.
I was hoping that someone could please give me a detailed description of what they did to get their screen fixed?
Currently all I know is that I need to bake it in the oven for 5hrs at 100⁰C.
The things is I don't quite know if I am to preheat the oven to that temperature? Put the screen in while the oven is off and let it heat up to the 100⁰C at the same rate as the oven? Put the screen on a tray or just place it onto the oven grate? And do I use so.ething like chopsticks to raise it slightly if I do put it on the tray? Also is it better to use an air fryer? Or a convection oven? Also if I am to use the convection oven, do I have the fan turned on? Or do I leave it turned off? Also should I have something on top of the screen to apply pressure to it while I let it bake? Or is it not necessary? Lastly, when taking it out after the cooking, do I first leave it in the oven too cool down with the oven, or would it be better to work with the screen while it is still hot?
I am hoping to have the screen done today or this week, so I was hoping that I could maybe get a responce quickly to these questions. Thank you.
Thank you all again for all your help so far with this project, this has helped me out so much.
