Hi Listers,
I'm trying to salvage a Lombard for a friend and these are the two
open
issues that I'm looking advice for:
First good to see the books being salvaged.
1) Display is dark (image is there, but no back illumination; also
S-video
out works fine to TV). I have ruled out the backlight (replaced a
know-good
display assemblywith good backlight) and the inverter. This leaves a
possible fault on the motherboard, as the cables are part of the
display
assembly. Does anyone know whereabouts on the motherboard to look for
possible damage (hoping to find visible damage, such a blown
capacitor or
so). Or what other bits could be responsible for such behaviour?
Have you tried disconnecting the monitor and cleaning the contacts as
they could have a build up of dirt on them. this could prevent a
contact and give a scrambled pic. or no pic at all also have you
checked the cables for any damage or cracks in the strip.
2) This is a 400 MHz with DVD drive. Booting in OS9, system
profiler informs
me that DVD decoder is present. However, when I try to play a DVD,
I get the
message saying that this computer can't play DVDs. As anyone seen
and/or
solved this?
To me that says the system was installed on a book with out the dvd
decoder or drive present. for example a wallstreet. Then the drive
swapped into the lombard.
thanks and cheers,
gianfranco
