iMac 20 G5 screen repair

2009-11-03 Thread Charles Taylor
Hi Glenn, Of course you could just replace the machine (the new ones do look good) but then you would be stuck with an otherwise good machine that has a very low resale value. However the damage to your screen certainly appears to be just the LCD panel, of which we have a couple good

Hi Glen, Another option if you want to move up to a nice intel iMac but can't quite spring for the price of the new models (beautiful excellent value as they are!) is that stock of the previous model iMacs seems to being cleared at much reduced prices (I noticed a 24 was $2499 now $1699

Hi Glen, Neil is correct. If any resellers have stock, Apple have reduced all iMacs by around $700. We have our last 24 iMac in the store which is now $1698. The stock of our 'old' iMacs got snapped up in a couple of days. We have a 27 iMac next to the 24 and you can see the difference in the

Hi Glen, FYI. Had a look at the G5 LCD screen prices. Without the serial number I can't be 100% but you are looking at either ~$439 (plus labour) or ~$700 (plus labour) depending on your specific model. Cheers, Stuart On 1/11/09 5:23 PM, Glenn Nicholas gl...@om4.com.au wrote: Thanks

Although there's no comparison in quality you can get a 20 BenQ LCD for around $150 and a 23.5 for around $230. Perhaps you'd be better off getting one of those and using your distorted iMac screen as a secondary monitor. Ruben A lcd for a g5 imac 20 will run around the $900 mark if
