HELP! Broken LCD on iMAC 20 inch 2.4 ghz aluminum model

[Edwintds]

So while traveling with my iMAC 20 inch 2.4 ghz (late 2008 aluminum model intel core 2 duo)

I got in a car accident and the LCD and screen totally busted so I trashed it

After doing a hardware check... all the LEDs show that everything is in working order except for the obvious missing LCD.

So my questions are:

1. Can I possibly put these internals into a 24 inch aluminum shell?

2. Can I put this in the G5 older 24 or 20 inch shells (the ones that are all white rather than aluminum colored)?

3. Or Anyone know a cheap way I can just replace the LCD and screen? (around $200?)


Thanks for your help! sucks my iMAC had to have this fate.

I think your best option would be to just replace the LCD panel and not have to deal with moving other parts. And I think you can get an even better deal than $200 if you look on eBay.

Thanks for the quick reply..

No luck on ebay so far but I will keep on checking

also.. do you know if I can put the internals in a 24 inch? I rather upgrade if I am going to buy a new iMAC shell/screen

...who's fault was the accident?

If it wasn't your fault, that computer should have been made part of the police report and be covered by the other parties insurance.

Good luck with the repair.
