Is it possible to make the imac g5 lcd screen into a normal lcd screen that connects to a normal computer through something like VGA?

No.
That's one disadvantage to an all-in-one computer like an iMac. There's no video input

that sucks, because my motherboard fried and i have the 17' screen left. I seem to remember a mod were you mix a powerbook g4 and an imac g5... Anybody happens to see that, can you give the link?

Is there any possibility that you are covered under this program?

One of the causes is swelling capacitors on the logic board, and some completely stop working, or really overheat, causing the power supply to fail also. If this type of failure, Apple will replace both parts at no charge to you. If you have already checked this out, and doesn't apply to you, then good luck!

hmmm, i haven't seen it... It is a first generation imac g5, but the serial number doesnt match up.

Perhaps you bought a refurbished iMac? A refurbished model might still be covered, if sold approximately in that time range. You should have it checked for possible repair under that program.
Do your symptoms seem to be similar to those listed?

We had a problem with our screen. It was flickering on bootup etc. we got a new screen via Apple Care Protection. Do you have Apple Care Protection?

nope, its not a refurb, I got it the first week it came out. The symptoms are exactly as described, just a different serial number.
