I finally figured out how to cleanly peel the bezels off a TiBook display and thought I'd share my brainstorm. :-)
If you've ever done taken apart a TiBook display you know how difficult it is to remove the bezel parts from the LCD without bending the heck out of the metal, especially the front bezel. I've done a couple using the pull and peel method and the results weren't pretty. On my latest broken-LCD-acquisition I used a piece of thin stiff plastic which I slid around the edges. It popped the bezels off cleanly with virtually no damage. The plastic I used came from some sort of blister-packed product. I cut up the clear plastic into a strip maybe 2" wide x several inches long. The plastic is stiff enough to be slid along under the bezel but not so thick it bends up the metal. Not only did it do a beautiful job it was fast, taking only a couple of minutes (just the display, not getting the &^$^%&& display off the 'Book. :-) I'l have more details of course and will put up a page with pics as soon as I'm able. I do intend to complete the repair using a two-part acrylic adhesive (same stuff Apple used in the first place) to glue it back together. I'll put those details on the same page as well once I've done it.
