I am trying to fix an iMac "Core 2 Duo" for a friend. The hard drive is making the "click of death" but also there is no video displayed on the screen. Not a flicker of any light. I am not sure if replacing the LCD will fix it, or if the problem is on the logic board, but I thought if I could find one, it was worth a try.

If I can find an LCD, they are $200+! Apparently they are hard to come by as they are plagued by a line or lines down the screen. Anyway, if anyone has a source for a replacement LCD at a reasonable price, please let me know. The number on the screen is LM171W02 (TL)(B1). I have read it can take a (TL)(B2) also.

Thanks for any info.

P.S. I replaced the hard drive with a spare and it exhibits the same symptoms a mithrandir's recent post. (viewtopic.php?f=13&t=18974)

I will be watching with interest....
