Powerbook 180c parts
Today I picked up a faulty Powerbook 180c that I won on eBay. I got it running fairly quickly, then shortly after broke the screen cable :'( I was fixing some cracked plastics and was trying to investigate the loose screen hinges.
Does anyone have a PB 180c screen cable that they are willing to ship to the UK? Alternatively a whole upper lid (screen not necessary) might be nice, but I'm guessing that the cracked hinge plastics are very common, so I could try and glue mine back together.
This is all very annoying because during the short period I had it running properly, it seemed to have some very useful software on it (Excel 5, for example).

I found this one for parts:

Look at the price! 8-o I bought the one that I broke for £5 off eBay - that works out as $7.12!
I might have found a couple of places to get one from - just waiting for a price on one of them. Hopefully I can get this thing back up and running!
