I managed to put it back together, and had a bunch of screws left over. Then, I realized I hadn't actually hooked the LCD's video feed cable back up again, so no picture.

I don't have an Apple Authorized Repair license, but I've fixed my own computer, so I'm happy. That computer is now kind of old and slow... 700MHz G3, but still somewhat useful. Oh, and the Apple power adapters are crap. Mine broke, but once I bought another 3rd party one from smalldog.com, and my cat at home began to try to chew through the cord on it.
