Anyone, anyone? Nope, it's not in the manual, Apple only describes that
module's replacement. Interestingly the 12" manual _does_ describe
display disassembly though sadly that module is completely different than
the early TiBook's.
My story: I bought a 550 with a messed-up display, the LCD appears to be
intact though its functionality has yet to be determined. Also I just
bought a 400 with a cracked LCD which appears to be otherwise intact. My
"PLAN" is to use the ?good? LCD and the ?good? display case parts to
create one good display. I have the service manuals for both models but
those only reference display repairs as module replacement.
My questions: Can anyone tell me if I'm tackling the impossible, or _if_
possible help with some hints, tips, pointers or even just greatly
appreciated words of encouragement? Are there any web sites detailing any
of this? I googled for hours but found little, mostly grumbles about how
Apple has done the world a disservice with their crummy product design.

I'm not clear on what is wrong with the display from the 550 but...
I thought the top half of the 2 machines are the same. Can you not just put the good top half onto the good bottom half with a minimum of effort, and not attempt to swap the lcd into a different frame?
