Hi Wamuggers,
Our iMac G5 20" took a swan dive recently. The display is still
working, but there is some kind of damage at the top of the screen
that shows two ink-blot style marks bleeding down from the top of the
screen. Below that damage there is a 2cm wide set of vertical lines
being displayed down the full height of the screen - almost looks like
a vertical split bar.
A 'screenshot' showing the damage is here:

Bottom line - can it be fixed? What is it likely to cost compared to
cost of a new iMac.
Hi Glenn,
Ouch ... not nice! To replace the LCD Screen will be expensive.
$759US quoted here, they are in Santa Clara, CA (Local Drop Off ...
absolutely no use to you other than an idea of the price involved).

Is it covered by your Insurance Policy - Accidental Damage?
The new iMacs are beautiful machines ;-)
Especially the new 27" iMac ... it's a "Wow" machine!

Daniel Kerr I'm sure will be able to give you a better idea of the
cost involved and the price of a NEW iMac.
