How to tell the difference between ibook and ibook g4 screens?

Hi, I've got a faulty screen on my ibook g4, and have spent the last month or so trying to find a second hand replacement one.
I recently bought a screen on ebay, but when I received it, it only said 'iBook' on the front, not 'iBook G4' as my current one does. I replied to the seller to complain that he sent me a g3 screen, but he insists it's G4.
Before I take it any further, can anyone confirm whether it is possible that this is actually a g4 screen, even though there is no mention of G4 on it?
Here is a picture(http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120281147959&ssPageNam e=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=002#ebayphotohosting)
Thanks, Nick

As far as I have encountered, the 12" screens are cross compatible between the G3 and G4 iBooks. The LCD screens - not the cable harnesses. You can take the LCD from the G3 screen and replace the one from the G4.
Now, with the 14" iBooks, the high end (1.33 and 1.42 GHz models) G4 iBooks use a screen that is not cross-compatible with earlier G4 or G3 models.
So, while you cannot swap the entire screen assembly between the g3 and G4, the LCD panels are largely swappable. The screen bezel and frame are also swappable.

  • How to tell the difference between 10w and 12w?

    We have:
    2 iPhone 5s
    1 iPad
    1 iPad 2
    1 iPad (4) with Retina
    I know that the iPhones use the smaller 5w charger, but how do I tell the difference between the iPad/iPad 2's 10w charger and the iPad 4's 12w charger? They look exactly the same.
    The iPad 4 takes forever to charge, so I want to make sure I am using the 12w - and I don't want to damage the older iPads by accidentally using the 12w.
    Thanks!

    Read the fine print on the charger. My iPad 2 10W charger says 5.1V 2.1A. A 12W charger should have a higher number for A.
    You can use the iPad 4 charger on your other devices, without damage, to charge them faster.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • How to tell the difference between DRM (fairplay) music and non-DRM music?

    Apple finally is selling non-DRM music and I've bought a couple songs in the past with ease. I like the system but I'm having a problem finding out which music is still using DRM.
    Apple originally differentiated it by charging 30 cents more for the unprotected music. Now however they removed the surcharge, but there's no way to tell if the music I'm looking at is protected.
    I choose not to buy DRMed music as I'm using my music to burn MP3 CDs for my car, and having to crack protection isn't the way I want to do it.
    How can I tell using iTunes Store which music is DRM protected, and which music is DRM free?

    Agreed, I have stopped buying from iTunes until they eliminate the restrictions, and have started replacing the songs I DID buy from iTunes with non copy protected ones from Amazon. I tell everyone not to buy from iTunes for exactly that reason. There are lots of other excellent options, which do not have the stupid restrictions that Apple has. The iPod is great, iTunes with DRM is incredibly annoying.

  • How can I tell the difference between Academic and non-academic version

    I would like to purchase Logic Express on Ebay. The Apple part number is

    How can I tell if this is the Academic or non-academic version?
    THanks

    ok, but there is no way to tell from the Apple part #?
    I thought that the /A might mean Academic but it seems this same part number applies to the non-academic version:

  • How do you tell the difference between a genuine USB to Lightning cable? I spoke to two different operators at Apple Support. One said that it has Designed in California Made in China and the serial number on it, and the other operator said it didn't

    How can you tell the difference between a genuine Apple lead and the cheap, or sometimes not so cheap imitations? I spoke with two people at Apple Support - one said that it has Designed in California Made in China and the serial number stamped on it, and the other said it didn't. Come on guys, how are we supposed to tell if you can't? I'd really like to know how to identify my lead amongst my daughter's gazillion fakes?

    All my cables are genuine either with the devices or from Apple retail Store I have never found a serial number on any regardless of which length ,I have all three lengths
    In fact they have nothing printed at all only a USB logo at relevant end

    If unboxed how could you tell the difference between refurbished imac and new imac?

    Besides all of that, you can purchase Apple Care which will extend your warranty to 3 years just like you can on a brand new iMac.
    If you're considering a "refurbished" iMac, buy it ONLY from Apple.  I believe it's your best bet.

    When you send a meeting invite in ical, does the recipient receive a different icon in their inbox to differentiate from an email?

    For service stock you can't tell the difference between a new iPad and a refurbished one. Both will come in a plain brown box with the same pattern in model numbers. If you mean between a refurbished one and one new at retail, then other than the obvious difference in packaging, I've read that the model number on refurbished units starts with the letter "F", though I've not confirmed that.
