hi all
i have a 550Mhz powerbook g4 with a toasted graphics-card, which will sometimes show cristal-clear image, and sometimes Mondriaan-like graphical patterns inbstead of the desktop. and sometimes it won't even boot.
then i also have a 667Mhz powerbook g4, 2nd generation with DVI-video with a broken display.
i wonder if i can swap the screen of the first powerbook to the second. would that work?
physically it looks like it will fit since the connectors seem to be identical.
but would the screen actually work? since the motherboards and graphic-cards of both computers are different.
i don't want to go through the procedure of swapping the display with the risk of breaking something else, just to find-out that it's not going to work...
any thoughts?
thanks
