Wow great to see that you have saved a TAM. Hope I can achieve that too.Removing the screen is not easy, a lot small clips and weak plastic.

Cool info, I'll try to post a photo of the screen later.I'll take "rotten" to mean bubbled/warped/scuffed/bashed as seems to be the trend among LCD panels from the '90s lately.
If you don't have ready access to a parts PowerBook, try removing the LCD panel and reading the model number from the back of it. Putting this info into an online reseller of some sort will often yield a replacement display for a reasonable sum. I have found replacement panels for my 5300ce and 550c this way.
Thank you so much. I ordered a 3400c LCD and swapped out the TAM. It’s working now but the HDD is dead. Time to go flash memory and reinstall the OS.Yes - you're in luck, as it's the same LCD found in PowerBook 3400 and Kanga G3 models. If the LCD displays lines or other unusual corruption, it could be the analog to digital adapter that runs between the LCD --> adapter --> TAM motherboard. My TAM came with a faulty adapter, and it was near impossible to find a replacement, I couldn't repair it.
Cool and thank you. Yes keep the LCD well, hopefully it doesn’t comes handy.Wonderful! I’ve a spare junker 3400c with good LCD should my TAM LCD decide to die one day.
Yes, installing vanilla OS 8.x or 9 installs the requisite TV/radio functions as needed for the TAM
