[Ti] Line down LCD screen on Ti 500

[Kynan Shook]

It's a pain in the ass if you've never done it before; you have to take 
off the bottom case, the logic board, clutch covers, and then the 
display comes off.  The logic board is the hardest part to get in and 
out.
It's doable, but not easy.  You might be interested in finding an Apple 
Authorized Service Provider in your area to swap things for you.
