| 447858 | 2006-04-20 01:51:00 | I have a powerbook G4 550Mhz model. I have no idea how but somehow the right hinge for the LCD screen has cracked. When I close the screen, it pushes bottom border of the LCD screen upward, almost looks like it will crack the screen itself. I know over time this will cause another major problem, although at the moment everything is working as it should be. Is it possible to get this repaired? I know I should call Magnum Mac or someone and ask them but they want me to bring the laptop in. I am stranded at home today and would appreciate any help you guys can give me. Any idea's on whether if it is even worth getting repaired? :badpc: |

(Fibreglass reinforced tape would be better, but that doesn't stick as well as duct tape.) Super (or any) glue will probably be useless. You need to reinforce the area. Duct tape will do that. |
