For anyone else with a laptop, check your insurance... make sure your laptop
is covered, and for New For Old. That way if your ancient PowerBook gets
smashed/stolen/etc, you get a brand new G4 back!

>The worst part about it is that the Apple Store recon that to fix the
backlight is going to take $5,000 Australian (not including labour) and to
replace the cracked case another $1,100, with about $400 of labour on top of
that! Does this seem a bit excessive given that I can get a new (old stock)
550 Mhz with the combo drive for under $4000?

What are my options? Is there any chance of fixing a backlight, or it it
really a one-piece sealed unit?
It sounds like they're replacing the entire active matrix panel.

I found them via Google, there may be others.
Have fun,
