I have inherited a PB G4/400 that is experiencing LCD freezes and troubles waking from sleep. I've searched and searched but can't find any similar experiences to help me diagnose the machine. Hopefully someone here can help. Here's a summary of what's happening:

- by itself, not moving it...it pretty much works flawless. But, if I am working on it on my lap and move it to a table, it shut down on me. Just "Poof"...off she goes.

- Yesterday, I had it on and the display went to sleep...it wouldn't wake up. I closed the lid, the hard drive stopped spinning but when I opened it, it still wouldn't wake up. Reboot - went to desktop but the mouse and keyboard wouldn't respond. Reboot - ok...then it wouldn't go to sleep. The mouse/keyboard was responding ok after the restart but then after it sat for 30min or so, no response from mouse/keyboard...they freeze on the screen but the machine is still ok...hard drive and cd work just nothing responds on the screen.

- this is the main problem...it'll be working fine but if you move it, the screen will freeze (mouse/keyboard no response)...

I've read around and it seems it could either be the cable that feeds the screen, a damaged logic board or the inverter board (not sure what that is)....

Can anyone help....pinpoint, suggest, point me in a direction, suggest sites, etc, etc?

Thx!
