nOw wHaT ?!!! a bRoKeN sCrEeN... :-(


as if it wasn't enough the fact that I have no electricity and my battery is only able to last 20 minutes, at best... now the screen is broken... I had no idea how it happen, till I noticed the shape of it on the screen...a dog paw !!! and I just remembered that Muxima tried to sneak in my bed in the middle of the night...she must have stepped on the computer that was laying on the floor... Bummer !!!
Anyway, not much I can do now...it's a bit annoying having to drag windows up and down in order to see what I want... I just need more patience I guess !!!
If any of you knows of a cheap (the cheapest as I'm very low on money at the moment) idea of how to get a screen for a 12 inch iBook G4, and also a battery, that would be sooooooo helpful... I have this computer for almost 4 years now, thanks to some friends who helped me buy it, and I never had problems with it... It's been a blessing for my communication, even though I've been rubbish lately with e.mails and blog... but you know Spring and Summer are hard seasons for that :-(... a new battery and screen would help... Anyway, be patient with me too :-)... Bless you all...soon I'll post the latest on the prayer week, Edna's baptism and recent visitors...

It´s best to buy a new computer. The screen. and battery is to much. A new computer, for instance Magalhaes, can be buyed for less then 200 €

I understand your suggestion, and it might be cheaper (or maybe not), but I prefer to keep my old school mindset which tells me to care for the things I have the best as possible... if I can fix it or buy second hand pieces, I prefer, instead of creating more trash in the world... if I cannot fix it, or not have the money for it, then I manage with what I have... it requires me a bit more time and patience, but I can still do the things I most need the computer to do, which is e.mails and blogging...
does it make sense ?!!!
I hope I find a second had screen, and maybe a battery, but that wouldn't such a NEED...it's more like something that could be useful, and time sparing...

There is no screen at the market. You can use another VGA old screen, but only when connected with electricity. I understand your position about trash, aplied to tecnological equipmments. You decided, finding the better solution. Thanks
