[Ti] TiBook display takeapart

[JPE]

I did something similar with an old Ti 400. Made a picture frame type 
thing of it. Had broken hinges so I flipped the screen around the same 
way as you did, made a wood frame and it mounts on a wall. Airport 
accessable and the whole nine via Remote Desktop.

I repaired a couple of broken hinge Ti's for friends using replacement 
hinges gotten off ebay. (avg. 75 a set).
I used a 2 part epoxy for the replacement hinges and contact cement for 
the bezel.
If your taking a bezel off, don't worry if it warps out of shape, you 
can manipulate it back very easily to be flat. However, when removing, 
be very careful around the screw hole cut outs, if the metal creases or 
rips, it doesn't look nice.
Other than that it is not as hard as it seems and screens are on the 
cheap now, (while they last) on ebay
