It boots, but 70 percent or more of the screen looks like stained glass.
As others have stated - for the current screen, this is not a
repairable fault.
Does this need a new screen?
The current screen is toast. You will need to find a way to replace the
unit.
If yes, where do I get one pronto - how much - how do I replace it?
Apple Store. It is called a "MacBook" and will pretty much run rings
around the Pismo. Alternatively, you might find a used Powerbook on the
Swaplist or eBay? I don't believe replacing the LCD is cost effective in
this case. The unit alone is probably going to cost more than the
computer is worth, and that is before you add on labour for it to be
fitted. Your fastest way to a working Mac is to buy a new or fairly new
one, or at least - a "new to you" model.
