One might also mention that the Dual USB iBooks have a history of
this. If I remember correctly, it stems from the hinge eating away at
the wires that run through it. Unfortunately, I don't remember if
Apple covers this as they do the iBook logic board problems. You
might call Apple and see if covered, or email them (free).
Good luck,
Henry

Hey all,
My screen appears to have died. I can still access the HD in firewire
target mode, and when I power up it makes all the appropriate sounds
while the screen stays dark. If I hit power again and then return,
the system appears to "shut down".
Can anybody shed any further light on diagnostics or direct me to
other resources? I'm game to replace the screen, but would like to
make sure that's the problem before proceeding.
Could be the LCD screen, the inverter board or simply the ribbon cable that
hooks the screen to the motherboard.
It it was me, I would open the laptop and visually inspect the ribbon cable
that goes to the screen. If I could find one cheap, I would probably buy one
just to try it.
If the problem still persists, I would try to find a screen and would just
replace the whole thing. I'm not sure how you can test the inverter and I'm
not sure I would want to try to replace it.
