Swapping screens between Powerbook Duo 230 and Duo 250

Posted by: Berenod on 2022-09-14 00:17:05 Anybody knows if the displays are interchangeable? The 250 uses an active matrix screen, the 230 a passive matrix. Talking about swapping the complete screen with housing and all, just wondering the connector on the mainboard is exactly the same, I would guess it is, as otherwise the machine totally identical.

Posted by: mg.man on 2022-09-14 01:07:13 I would not call it definitive... but these guys list the same screen for both : Duo 210 / 230 / 250 FSTN LCD Display www.applemacparts.co.uk FWIW, I would have bought one for £45 had they been in stock... sadly, they haven't been for a long time. He does have other Duo bits in stock - nice guy too!
