is it possible to take a powerbook 5300cs with a broken screen and replace it with a powerbook 5300c screen. I know about the holy grail post, and please don't tell me i've got a road apple and should upgrade.

yeah you can do that no problem. the PB 5300 screens (except for the black and white model) were all the same. So yeah, swap away

do i need to replace the inverter and all the other electronics or can i just buy the lcd panel by itself from www.powerbookguy.com, because th 5300c had an active matrix, and the 5300cs had a passive matrix, and im not sure if the controler for the passive matrix will work on the active matrix
that i dont know. ive only swappd screens from a 5300c to a 5300 ce-both active matrix
You'll need the matching 'C' LCD cable if you replace your CS LCD with a 'C'. Best dealy is to acquire an entire 'C' display assembly.

If your looking for a display cable for the 5300c display, i have one you could have for shipping price. I also have the invertor if you need that too. I also have the entire bezel, hinges and a bunch of other parts from a 5300, everything except for the motherboard, if anyone needs any parts.
