Shay,
I daresay that will not come cheap. My (now declared dead) Pismo
was diagnosed with
a faulty processor card and logic board - replacement parts were
quoted at more
than $2.000.
Apparently since the machine is no longer being manufactured, the parts are

Actually, the parts are not marked up once the machine is not
manufactured. The price is the exact same price when the machine is
first released. When Apple gets a machine manufactured, they also
extend the run for spare parts. So, the pay the price at the time
for what the logic board would cost for that machine ie if part of
the manufacture cost for a logic board in a new machine is $1500,
then they pay $1500 per board for the spare part board.
so why were we quoted at around $4000 for a new screen for an early
G4 Powerbook?
