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. >[snip] > >> I suggest that you have a Apple Service provider check the ribbon cable >> that connects the screen to the powerbook.
