I might be able to provide a donor Wallstreet, if you're interested. I'm not sure what I have on hand, but I have more than one in various states of nonfunctionality and it would b…
That's a shame - was the plastic around the hinge damaged too? Hopefully you can find a donor WSII/PDQ and transplant a new hinge on. Must have been a hefty fall - these machines…

Could be that teh power supply is getting marginal. If it drops too far below 5V you'll see behaviour like that. The fix could be as simple as turning the voltage adjustment scr…
Apple selected a different route: let the monitor tell the video card what it is.

Yay! It's fixed!
Well, except for the fact that I must now manually switch to enable either internal speakers or headphones. :
