You need to extend the CCFL High Voltage cable, if it is not long enough to reach the inverter. You'd better get a electronics friend to help you. Should be very easy for him. If it's done wrong. Leakage or shock may happen.

Please measure and calculate the cable length precisely. There is not enough space for wires which are too long. In this pic, they ARE 25mm/1" longer than needed. Reworking them is painful.

Remove all the extra parts from the PCB, metal frame, and white plastic back. There are 9 of them. Use knife or other cutting tool to cut the plastic. Use cutting tool to cut PCB. Use Diamond impregnated files to cut the metal frame. It's very hard and stiff, you cannot cut it with knife or wire cutters. Or, you may hurt you tool or even the LCD GLASS!! That's a game over"

Please be ALWAYS VERY CAREFUL and patient, DO NOT HURT the citcuit or the LCD glass (through the entire upgrade).

Smooth all sharp metal edges. Should be 6 of them.

Drill four 1.5mm~2mm(1/16"~5/64") diameter, 3mm(1/8") deep holes at the left and right side of panel at the position corresponding to original LCD panel. Do NOT drill the glass!!.

This was a great guide!
Would something like this be compatible with a 12” iBook G4?
Tear it down and see what’s inside.
