Eek! This sounds exactly like a problem I had with my G3 a couple of years ago. (Sorry, I am not familiar with the G3 Powerbook naming scheme-- but the one I had was the first one issued, I think. <I bought it August 1998>) Anyway, after months of pinching/twisting/replacement of cables, I had to cave and get the screen replaced. I was hauling it cross-country on a regular basis at that point, so I think that aged the computer from a wear and tear standpoint really quickly. . . so it's no surprise to me that it is becoming a frequent problem. --Courtney (who has subsequently gone to great lengths to protect her new laptop from excess wear and tear. . . and had a heck of a time finding a laptop sleeve that would fit a Powerbook G4.)

Because, you see, humor is truth. --Victor Borge A pessimist is a man who thinks all women are bad.

The real one is that for which they will forsake the others. --Marcel Proust We love because it's the only true adventure. --Nikki Giovanni Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. --T.S.
