Chosen Solution
I have the 1.5 Ghz. The PowerBook fallen and now the display backlight doesn’t turn on so the screen remains black, but if I connect a second monitor everything works. I want to check if (hopefully) something was disconnected at the incident. I need to disassemble display. Am I forced to disassemble the logic board and all the components or I can only take away a few parts and then take away the display and operate only on it? In your guide it seems I must disassemble the whole machine before getting to the monitor. Many thanks!
Hi Ferex, is your screen completely black or you can see a faint image of desktop when lightning your back panel display with a light source (over the white Apple icon). Also, are your hinges still in good condition (is the lid difficult to open/close, loose hinges, etc) ?
That’s the way the guide reads and I have found its best not to try shortcuts. Almost always it leads to broken parts and higher cost. Good luck–Ralph
The thing that frightens me is having to deal with thermal paste…. can I reapply the old paste? Should I buy some new paste? How do I choose it? Thanks
