I'd always wanted to open it... It helps that I had -only- paid about
300$ two
years ago for it. At the original price, I'd have been more weary...
As for the broken part, it still has two of the 3 clips, should be ok.

I got it from "igo.com". for 14.95$ Got stung by UPS and the broker
charges though
(to canada). The ordering process was ok, but I never got the "we
shipped the
product" email after the original confirmation... oh well...

BTW: Powerbook is still in pieces (haven't had a chance to get back to
it), I'll try
the chopsticks method to reconnect the video cable to the motherboard...
