	The port on an iBook is an Apple port, so you need the Apple adapter which is about £10 from the Apple Store to connect to VGA. You should be able to connect the 2 iBooks using firewire and then put the broken one into target disk mode. It's easy enough and doesn't need a working screen. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583

No, but you'll probabaly need a DVI to VGA converter (unless you have a monitor with a DVI connection) This is if its a fairly new laptop anyway, because they all come with DVI A DVI to VGA converter looks like this

	The screens normally swap over no problem, depends how much you have to strip down though. What about using an external monitor?

	Can you get the converter from the store or do you have to contact them?

	Shudda wudda cudda. You can link it up, but you normally need some converter thing from Apple so you can link it to another screen. Alternative is to remove the HDD and get a connector to allow you to access it from any other computer.

	My nephew has pulled my brothers iBook off a unit breaking the screen. Its come off the hinges but all cables still seem intact. The laptop still turns on but not the screen. He has another iBook so is it possible to plug it in to this one to retrieve the data?
