[rescue] rebuildability

[Kevin Foote]

hi all
not sure if i should be posting this here. :-)
i have a 12" g3 iBook that has a bad screen but otherwise works great.. from
what i gather its the backlight on the actual lcd.
a new screen rig from powerbookmedic <http://www.powerbookmedic.com> costs
~$299 my general question is is this actually worth the referb time / money.
ive also thought
of buying a parts rig on ebay but then i cant guarantee the lcd is good
(unless specified of course).

if / when i get this thing up it would be a box for my wife in the kitchen
area to browse etc with ..

i know that is a user specific question  _wether it is worth it or not_  but
i know there a a lot of mac peopel on the list that might have experience
replacing / repairing so i thought id ask anyway.

:wq!
