hi, i have an ibook g3 clamshell 300mhz and have broken the left hinge on the unit. i can however get hold of a 'screen half' ibook 466mhz (clamshell also) like http://homepage.mac.com/marcregan/iSale/Pictures/1124977774_0.jpg . what i want to know is will the item pictured fit my old 300mhz unit ok? also will the screen work as a straight swap or would i have to swap those over? even simpler will the hinge from the 466 screen go onto my 300mhz ibook? thanks!
you can swap almost every part from te 466 ibooks to the 300's. it will work fine.
you can do a direct screen swap, or the hinges, whatever you prefer
i will say from experience that a lcd swap is SO easy compared to a hinge swap
