Replacing broken screen with a titanium screen.
Hi there!
Does anybody know if I could replace the lcd screen of a 15" G4 Powerbook 1.67 GHz with one out of a 15" titanium powerbook?
Many thanks
Sascha

They are different parts so no, you would not be able to use the Titanium LCD for the Aluminum PowerBook.

Scoot Head, if you check these two links you'll find a reference for the Titanium LCD: AU Optics Corporation - PN B152W01 (works in all Titanium models). Looking at the other link, the same B152W01 is advertised for the PowerBook aluminum.

I would be not surprised that you could swap the LCDs (of the same resolution) between the two series minus the 1.67 high resolution PB G4. I often swapped iBook G4 LCDs with iBook G3 ones
.To Sascha: if you want to know your LCD model:
- open Terminal application
- paste this line:
ioreg -lw0 | grep IODisplayEDID | sed "/[^<]*</s///" | xxd -p -r | strings -6
-hit the RETURN key
Once you have the information, search on Google to find if you can get a match with a model of Aluminum PB LCD. Good luck !!
