Yes I do work on machines, and have talked to him off list.

Unfortunately, it sounds like the screen enclosure is damaged, which 
cannot be replaced without replacing the expensive screen inside.  The 
problem with these machines is that the screen enclosure is epoxied 
together, and the only people I have seen successfully take one apart 
is Apple themselves.

The cost of a new 15" screen can run between $500 and $1200 for the 
part alone, which goes a long way toward a much more resilient Aluminum 
powerbook (which is not glued together, BTW).
