Hi there I did a very silly thing and am now regretting it!! I shook my laptop!! And now the screen has gone very dark!! There is someshadow of the browser which is on start up but I can’t see anything!! Have I lost my screen… can this be easily fixed and is there a run through of how I can replace the screen if need be…I’ve seen a screen on ebay going so may put a bid on that if this one has died!!!Thanks for any help Ruth
If you still see a faint image of the desktop then try the mayer suggestion. If it doesn’t work then:
- the inverter cable might be disconnected from the logic board. I don’t think it could be disconnected from the inverter board end cause the connector is firmly inserted in the inverter board.
- shaking the iBook broke the fragile backlight lamp in the LCD panel. If the backlight lamp is broken you can buy a used iBook G4 LCD panel off ebay and even use a iBook G3 panel that will perfectly fit in your iBook G4
Try pushing the F2 key several times.
maybe there is a connection gone loose (sorry if it’s not english - not my main language)
