Not to foster false hope or anything, but... it's a bit unclear what you're asking. Is it literally a "MacBook", or is it a 17" Macbook Pro? If it's the latter the LCD panels *may* be compatible if it an early-ish "low res" MBP and a last model high-res 17" PB. They used panels with the same physical dimensions and resolutions.

But, yes, if what you're asking isn't *that* then you're pretty much boned without at *least* some custom cabling, and obviously there's no way to bodge the cases together.

If it's "low res" 1440x900 resolution Powerbook I'll give you $20 for the panel. It would fit an AMD laptop with a broken screen I fished out of the trash some time ago. ;^)
