Hi I have damaged my imac screen by spraying it with foam cleaning solution and its seeped down into the LCD display. Anyone know where I can get a new screen without going to apple as they will charge me a fortune? All i need is the LCD panel, I can fit it myself. Or is anyone selling one? Thanks Jon

if you get a new one, then it will be expensive. And it'll probably be a little while before alot of Imac G4 parts start showing up on ebay...alot of people havent broken theirs yet. rob

Yup, I took a look myself, nothing on eBay.
Look on Yahoo! then. I know they have several suppliers of Macintosh parts. Hell, if I can find as odd of a part as a rib frame for a first edition G4 PowerBook for as little as I did, I'm sure you can find a monitor for a computer that came out nearly a year and a half ago.
Hi I have found a screen for sale but the one that has come out of my imac is a Samsung screen, the one for sale is made by LG. Will it work on my imac? from the photo it looks like the plugs and things are the same but im not sure. Does anyone here know much about imac screens? Thanks, Jon

If the plugs are *EXACTLY* the same, and the screens are *EXACTLY* the same spec, then yes, it will work.
Does anyone know if an LG imac screen has exactly the same plugs and spec as a Samsung imac screen? Thanks

That's for you to figure out, and for the rest of us to know once you find out ;)
And it's an impossible question to answer if you're going to be that vague about it. What model numbers are the two screens? Samsung and LG both make about 30 different LCD panels...
