Be careful where you push. That graphics chip is right under the hard disk. When I was trying to get the backlight to work, I pushed down too hard and broke the hard drive. The hard drive will bend much easier than you'd think.

Buy Mom a new screen, the old one is blurry! And don't touch my poor Mac LC, it's not a fax machine! Insert unhelpful witty comment here! :-)
