Powerbook owner Brad cracked his laptop's LCD screen, but avoided paying Apple $1,000 to replace it by rolling up his sleeves and doing it himself. He used a guide at iFixIt.com, and photo-documented the entire process, which he said was "humbling."
Seeing how the whole laptop is put together gives me lots of respect for the engineers who designed it. I've done PC repairs before in a tower, but never on a laptop. I was half expecting it to become a paper weight. Luckily (3 weeks later) everything is still running great.​
He even turned the Apple logo a funky orange color while he was in there! Brad warns this is a multi-day project that you shouldn't take on without being ok with voiding your warranty. Still nice to know it's possible.
