My PowerBook 180 (B&W active matrix screen) does odd things with its
backlight. When I boot it, the backlight starts off at full strength, then
dims, then shuts itself off completely before the little cartoon Mac screen
appears. (It's running 7.5.5.) I believe it must be a software command, as
when I use the BatteryAmnesia conditioning program (yes, I paid the
shareware fee!) the backlight turns on properly as part of the
discharging-the-battery quickly part of the software. While the PB 180 is
surprisingly useable without the backlight--and gives great battery
life--I'd sure like the option of having the backlight on when I want it to
be! Any suggestions?
