Hi, I've successfully replaced a smashed PowerBook screen with a working one from another machine, but I realized afterward that because the two machines were different models, they have different video cards.
The display is working, but it's very strange looking - it's projecting the image at about 80% scale in the upper left hand corner of the screen, with a repeat of the top of the image along a strip at the bottom of the screen and about an inch and a half of unused black space on the right.
So what I have here is a PowerBook Mercury 500 with a Rage M3 display card running a PowerBook DVI 667 display. (I think it's supposed to have a Radeon display card in it.)
My question....are there any hardware or software mods I can use to scale the screen back up to use 100% of the display space??
