Not a wake from sleep bug as the computer is alive. Not an inverter problem as there is no desktop to see using a flashlight on the dark screen. Not intermittent, so prolly not cable/reed switch. Backlight is on, dark screen but the mac is outputting 'dark' to the screen. Logic board? could be. Strange! Still troubleshooting but bedtime beckons... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
