Hey folks, New here. I repair PBs (I own a Mac-only repair/service company)and own a PB G3. I guess mine can be called a Wallstreet, but I ordered it from apple with all the goodies months before it came out. Yes, I was one of the lucky ones to get the royal shaft on the "DVD" drive that did not play dvds but cost hundreds more. My grand total for the PB w/ the AppleCare was $4,994.00! Then one week after the apple care expired, the LCD went and I took it to who I thought was an expert (because Apple said they'd do it for the bargain price of $1100). The "expert" told me that the LCD was fine (of course it was) and it was the ribbon cable that was a mess. Unfortunately, he told me, the ribbon cables are NOT sold separately, but they could do the repair for $700 (what great guys!). I took it home and forgot about it. Now, I repair these things for a living (usually PB G4s, iMacs, and PowerMacs). I have never gotten around to my own machine. I just had a business boom and now it is passing, so I wanted to put the new cable in.
I am almost positive that it is the main left cable, but I haven't had
the screen frame apart yet. It is fine up until there. Does anyone
know the best place to get a cable. The place I found wanted $139.
That was just too much for my budget. My company sucks up any "extra"
money, if there ever is such a thing. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeff Wrobel
