Hi all-- I work on a G4 desktop, but I have a 2400 for Quicken and the like so that I can keep the IRS happy by not using my office computer for personal stuff. I recently noticed that the screen was pretty dark -- not anywhere near black, I can see the desktop and even read menus and window listings, but it's as though it dimmed itself and it won't undim.
So I'm wondering if this means the backlight bulb is dead, or what else might be going on. I'm pretty good at software troubleshooting, but hardware stuff beyond RAM or hard drive installation is a little trickier than I want to get into. I tried resetting the PRAM to no effect and am not sure what to do next. If I can figure out what the problem is, I can decide whether to get the thing fixed or eBay it, but I'm nervous about sending it off to be repaired without being pretty confident that the repair cost will fall within the amount I'm willing to spend on this secondary machine. I'd really appreciate any thoughts or advice -- TIA!
