Replacement of powerbook LCD display

I am using an "old" powerbook G4 which has completely satisfy me until it unfortunately fell from my desk. Now my LCD display seems to be dying slowly, with a lot of mutlicolor lines on almost a third of the screen and an entire dead pixel's zone at the bottom right corner of my display. Plus a black spot, pretty like a solar eruption.. It could be artistic if it was not ruining my display. So I have got simply 3 basic questions:
- Can I fix these damages?
- If not, where can I get a new display (near Geneva, Switzerland) and is it worthwhile to pay for it replacement?
- How much will it approximately cost me?
Many thanks for your suggestions
PowerBook G4 1.33 Ghz PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

Yeah, that sounds like the wires through your display hinge might be getting pinched. I'd take it to the Genius Bar.

  • Replacement of broken lcd display screen

    Hi
    I dropped my iphone 4 and the lcd display screen is broken.
    While i am still able to use the phone, not sure if we can have this replaced.
    I purchased the phone while in Sydney, Australia but have now relocated to Chennai, India.
    Would be grateful if someone can advise whether it can be replaced, whether apple store have this facility or whether we get the original screen outside
    Regards

  • Missing PowerBook LCD Display Profile

    My screen looks odd today, so I checked the display profile in System Preferences. All that is available is Adobe RGB, Generic RGB, and sRGB. Isn't there supposed to be a LCD profile? I checked the Colosync folders in System, Library, etc, not there. Anyone know where can I get a copy?
    TIA,
    Jim

    Never mind...ran batch tasks with MainMenu, ran repair with Disk Utility, and restarted, and there it is: Color LCD.

  • Restart screen and no volume after LCD display replacement

    Hello All,
    I recently replaced a broken LCD display on my Powerbook G4. It starts up fine and I can even use my laptop for certain things. However, I get no sound and when I try and play songs off of itunes, quicktime files or any program that requires video or sound I get the "you need to restart your computer" screen. Any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
    Jay

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    If you replace the screen yourself, you may have missed some cable connections.
    If the clock battery is over 4 years old, I'd get it replaced.
    If the clock battery is under 4 years old, check these articles:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    If you had someone else replace the screen, ask them to fix the damage they did which left you without audio and is causing kernel panics.
    My FAQ* here explains what can cause kernel panics:

    Which is your "You need to restart your computer" screen.

  • White screen after replacing LCD display myself. Help needed!

    I tried replacing the cracked LCD display, the fuctions on the iPod is still working but after replacing the LCD display it turns out to be white. I search the internet for solution but can't find any instead the possible problem. I found forums stating it could be the 'GPU chip' is fried on the logic board. I tried the cracked LCD on another iPod Touch 2nd Gen and found out that you could still see the outline of the lockscreen and time but when I tried on the original iPod Touch 2nd Gen it's just white, the same goes for the new LCD display. It's there any possible way to replace just that part without resetting the iPod Touch to its factory settings and how much would it cost?

    There

  • LCD Display exchanged on Macbook Air 11,6" Late 2010

    Hi guys,
    I just replaced the broken LCD display of my Macbook Air. It worked out quite well, apart from the fact that I accidentally scratched the white plastic film that's located right behind the LCD panel itself. I think this is kind of a light filter as there's now more light coming through the scratched spots.
    Do you guys know how could I fix this issue? Can I order that plastic film somewhere?
    Thanks in advance,
    shamy

    You replaced the panel or the whole assembly?
    I'm not aware of any place that sells the plastic film separately as it comes with the panel. That being said if you reach out to places like PowerBook Medic, iFixit, FixAppleNow and/or iResQ they might be able to assist you with replacement options as they're the "Big 5" vendors that I've used for DIY service parts in the past.

  • LCD display of N79 has stoped working in 30days of...

    i have purchased a new nokia n79 from a nokia dealer in chandigarh,punjab,india. after 30 days my LCD hanged up.....it stops displaying.....i have gone to nokia care, they told me that for replacement of ur LCD display will take near about 30 days.....thats a long period of time......what i can do now?
    can anyone able to sugest me?

    You have the option to take it to a different Nokia Care Centre and see what they have to say. Also, you can take it back to the shop from where you bought the phone and claim a replacement because it's only a month old.

  • Ipod LCD Display

    Hello,
    does anyone know if it is possible to replace the broken lcd display of a mini second generation with the lcd display of a 1st generation mini?
    I know it is not possible to exchange the clickwheels, but i'm not sure if this goes for the lcd displays also.

    Anybody?

  • Connecting an Apple 17" LCD Display to my PowerBook

    Hello
    I'm a complete novice at displays and I need some very basic advice!
    I'm thinking of getting an Apple 17" LCD Display off eBay. I know I need a connector/adapter and these seem to be also available on eBay although they do seem to vary from about £4 to £30! Do I need other connectors - say for power? What are the combined power connectors I've seen? I want to link it to my 550 Powerbook Titanium.
    Is there a specific connector I need? What do I need to look out for? Is there a reason why they vary in price? Is/was there an Apple part number I can look out for?
    Also, can I use the same connector to link up a non Apple display?
    What do people think about Formac flat panels?
    Any thoughts on what's best?
    Thanks Russ

    Hi, Russ. The Apple Studio Display 17" LCD (with a
    clear acrylic case) connects to a Mac through its ADC
    port, which is designed to feed video data, USB, and
    power to the display through a single cable. Your
    550MHz Tibook has a VGA-out port, which does not
    supply power to a connected display, nor does it
    supply USB to enable the USB port(s) on the display.
    Apple's system requirements for the Studio Display
    include an ADC or DVI port on the computer driving
    the display. Your Powerbook model has neither, so I
    suspect it can't drive the Studio Display at all.

    isplay17LCD.html
    All other LCD displays I've ever seen offered for
    less than $2000 are distant runners-up to Apple's
    LCDs in image quality. I don't recall whether I've
    ever seen a Formac LCD, but I would expect it to be
    comparable to the general run of the low-end LCD
    marketplace, i.e., cheaper than Apple's offerings and
    far inferior to them.
    When actual selling prices for identical items on
    Ebay vary widely, it generally reflects limited
    demand, variable supply, and differences in patience
    from one buyer to another. Someone who feels a need
    to "buy it now" will gladly pay a premium; someone
    who can take it or leave it this time and is happy to
    wait for a better deal next time an identical item
    comes up won't pay anywhere near as much.
    Thanks eww. But can I get an adapter which plugs into my vga port and converts to dvi? As I said in my post, I'm a no-hoper on all this stuff but I'm sure I've seen somewhere that Powerbooks like mine can display through an external monitor.
    I mentioned the 17" Apple display because I (like you) think they are the best. I'm not too bothered about the extra USB on the screen but what you say about power also is a problem Can I get a power supply as well as a connecting adapter?
    PS - I was also hoping to be ale to use the Apple display to give me a better view when using my G3 iMac DVSE but it looks that's a gonner too!!

  • Replacement LCD Displays

    Hi, Folks--I'm new to this forum so please forgive me if I'm asking something that has been asked recently.
    I have a 23" Cinema Display (the older one, model # M8536) that needs a new LCD display unit (the old screen is cracked). Is there any place where an end user can purchase these replacement screens for self-installation? I have Googled this topic everyway I can think of and can only find big LCD manufacturers that sell to the corporate world. One exception was applepalace.com which had the units available for about $1,800--a ridiculous price for a display that has not even been sold by Apple for a couple of years now.
    I've also scoured ebay, but the integrity of these used displays is always suspect.
    Any help for this do-it-yourselfer would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    The reason why yyou can use your MacBook on tv is that your hardware is totally fine. But your MacBook display isnt. i dont think you can solve this problem. This macbook needs an operation of an expert. He is going to replace the old display with newer. This accident can cost a lot of dollars so next time be careful with your MacBook! Best of luck to you!

  • I need to replace my LCD display on my 13.3" macbook model

Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Replacement LCD display for AIO

    HP Omni 120-1034 fell forward on the desk, and the LCD display is cracked. The pc is out of warranty so I want to replace the screen but need to find the part number  and a source for the part itself. Any suggestions welcome, I'm findin the HP support site less than helpful so am turning to the forum. Thanks so much.

    Maybe have your screen replaced by Lenovo Support. Replacing a tablet LCD can be tricky maybe.
