A little update... I just got a mail from the guy I bought it from, and he thinks the problem with my iBook is that the backlight is broken. Seems very logical to me too. Anybody know if this has been a problem in other iBooks? He had not sent in the papers registering the computer over to my name, he had not found the address in Norway to send it to (he is now in France himself). He took pics of the papers now though, and is sending the originals snail mail to me, so I can send them in. Besides, I have all the papers with his name on, the serial number etc. So I should be fine getting them to fix it on the Apple Care plan.
Tomorrow I will have to make some phone calls to find out for sure which company it is I need to contact. I think it is a company called Infocare or something like that, that does the AppleCare for Apple Norway. I sure hope that they have a place her in my city, at least I know that there is a workshop fixing Apple's here... Crossing my fingers that it won't take too long. I hate this PC so much, it is annoying to use!!! But, I am quite grateful that I have it right now, or I would be in real trouble. As soon as I get the iBook back OK, I will persue getting the Pismo fixed. That one is on another plan for when problems arise etc. though. I wouldn't be too surprised if they don't want to fix it though, after all, it is real old, the HDD makes funny noises and now the screen also??? I hope it works out, because I know I need to be sure that I have one working computer at all times... I would appreciate it a lot if any of you can tell me if you think it sounds sensible that it is the backlight that stopped working or if you think it sounds like something else... Thanks a lot! I am so glad that I finally am able to post to this list again!!!! I have been waiting for a long time. When I started having my mails bounce, the message said I could write to an e-mail address to ask them to fix things if I meant it was in error. Only my mails to that address also bounced, so it sure did not help much. My ISP also tried to mail that address, and got the mails back. So I did not know how to possibly contact the list owner... My ISP went in contact with UPC further south in Europe, I think, and got them to help sorting this problem out, because it was a problem for many users that certain servers for some odd reason had black listed UPC's servers in Europe... Have no idea why, I really don't think they are commonly used by spammers and such...

Thanks a lot for your input, but I was probably not clear enough, so I don't think your answer applies to this problem. Let me clarify... It is just the _screen_ itself that goes black or very dark, not the machine that isn't powering up. It is on, the light on the screen is just out. The book is on, and works correctly I think, only the light on the screen does not work. I can see what is on the screen vaguely if I hold it up against the light, just enough to see the cursor so I can manage to turn it off, re-start or something like that. It is not enough to read anything or use the computer though. It is as if you adjust the light on the screen down all the way until it goes completely dark. The first thing I did, was adjusting it to max. brightness, so it is not anything simple as that... I get a feeling that it is a hardware problem, but it would of course be wonderful if it wasn't... -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
