I keep hearing that heat will release the glue. Epoxy is not a 
thermoplastic. If you heat it, it won't melt, as it gets hotter it 
turns brown and eventually carbonizes.

So what is this glue? Does heat really release it?

Have you tried attaching the cracked LCD to the Display to see if works 
on the 550? Or the good LCD on the 400?

Worth a try.

I know what you mean. I've been looking for some info on replacing the hinge
on a TiBook G4/550. Can anyone point me in the right direction for DIY
repairs? I know some companies do the job for a lot less than Apple, but
said prices are still in the $500 range, plus shipping (I'm in Europe).

I came across a G4/550 with combo drive at a good price, though it has a
busted right hinge (the guy uses it with an external monitor and it works
fine). I also see right (and left) hinges selling on ebay in the $100 range.
If I could do the repair job myself it'd be a great deal; there'd be no
advantage in getting a company to do the repair job at $400-500.

I do have some experience in piecing broken powerbooks into good working
Macs, including 1400s, 3400s and Pismos. I've also done screen replacements
on these. Though obviously the TiBook screen is in a whole different league.
I have the Gigabit Ethernet takeapart manual and I can see that the job is
not for the faint of heart.

If anyone wants to advise for or against, please let me know. And if anyone
has any info on replacing the hinge yourself, any and all info would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.

bought a 400 with a cracked LCD which appears to be otherwise intact. 
My
"PLAN" is to use the ?good? LCD and the ?good? display case parts to
