I'm from spain. Here you can find an old Macbook air for 500€ and a macbook for 400€ too. But... it's not as fun as making my own Powerbook "Air" :ange: If I could find an Air for 150€ with broken screen only... it would be perfect (Air + Vga adapter)

I have 3 options: 1) Use an old motherboard with CCFL "compatibility". 2) Use LVDS-to-VGA adapter 3) Buy a LED display and change the CCFL one. I don't think the costs will be excessive: - 0€ G4 enclosure - 99€ Display - 10€ Inverter - 150€ Broken Macbook Air (w/o SSD) - 60€ compatible...

I all would be much easier if i find a CCFL Macbook :D What's the point of using a Macbook Air motherboard with a 20W aditional power consumption from the LCD workflow... :( Or maybe it's possible to attach a Macbook Pro 17 LED display to my G4?

I have to find a way to power then LCD controller either from battery or from mainboard. Any suggestions?

Thanks!. I will look to a good solution and see if i can mod the old G4 :D

I see... Any solution to control brightness? Thanks for your help.

Thanks. For the display, can I use a CCFL to LED adapter? I found some here: http://www.iccfl.com/index.php?cPath=205

Hi, I have an old Powerbook G4 17" and I want to mod it. My idea is to buy a broken Macbook Air / Pro laptop and use its motherboard on the Powerbook's case. Will I be able to use the G4 screen on the Macbook Air motherboard? How about the battery? And the keyboard/trackpad? Thanks!
