well after fellow 68kmla member phreakinus or whatever you say it went into a rage and busted the screen on his icebook 500 and pounded the keyboard many of the keys fell off the ibook was in a sorry state so i had a dead ibook g4 with a good display the prices for another parts g4 on ebay are outragous iam not gonna get 100 bucks shoved in the butt for a crappy non booting ibook. so i took the g4 screen out and put the LDVS connector from the g3 which somehow surived into the ibook g4 scren then since the mic connector was different and i didn't want to route it i sniped it. also some other connect on the g4 screen was different but i didn't give a shit i shoved it into the ibook anyways :) i took the original 10 gig out and put in a 20 gig and i since preakinus busted the cd rom earlier i had to put one of thouse in the frame is cracked neear the battery and the whole thing looks like crap the screen bezel still says ibook g4. i guess i could put it on ebay and say its a ibookg4 and that i don't know what the speed is and i could get hella money its got 576megs of ram and a airport card that works:) i put tiger and its slow as hell my 466se with panther runs way better but my panther install discs whould make this kernal panic so i just put this in target disc mode to install tiger no crashes.
