Broken powerbook suggestions
Alright so my 15" titanium 1Ghz PowerBook fell from the top bunk the other day. After looking at the damage, it didn't seem that bad. It was closed when it fell so all that happened was the white frame on top cracked and broken on the left, the bottem frame came off near the bottem left (with the battery falling out of course), and there is a giant dent below the Superdrive. Unfortunately I can't eject the cd that's in the computer but that isn't a very big problem. The big problem is that just recently the bottem third of the lcd screen blacks out or flickers white. When it happens I can't see anything in the bottem third of the screen. Fortunately when I play around with the screen (generally push the screen down from the top or push it together on the sides), I can fix it and can see everything. I looked online for how much it might cost to repair everything and being a college student, I'm not about to dish out 1500$ to fix my computer. My plan is to take the computer apart, re-form the bottem frame (fix the dent), super glue the cracked frame on top, and hope the screen doesn't get worse. I was just wondering if this seems like a good plan or if any one has some advice as to what i could do to keep my computer ok. Also if anyone has experience with their screen flickering black or sticking white any info on the would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
