I don't know that you would want to do this yourself as it would involve
the complete removal of the screen from it housing.  I removed the screen
for the Powerbook, then the back off the screen without breaking anything,
but when I saw that the cable that needed to be replaced went all the way
to the front of the screen, I felt that enough was enough.  Also getting
the screen back on the Powerbook correctly  is tricky.
$50.00 in labor is not that bad.
