Re: Lombard display lines
However, I'm still curious as to how hard it is to change a Lombard display, compared to rebuilding a PB 190 and soldering that little power connector. not sure about the 190, but the Lombard display replacement is a breeze. The most difficult bit is removing the plastic top cover sitting between the speakers to unveil the inverter, without breaking the little plastic tabs that hold it into place, so pay extra care at that step. Run a google search for Pismo LCD Scadboy to dig an easy to follow tutorial (Pismo == Lombard as far as display replacement is concerned). cheers and good luck, gianfranco -- Telefonieren Sie schon oder sparen Sie noch?

Caleb, It's really not that hard, have you a service manual? if not, email me. direct I have removed the screen assembly from a lombard to work further inside. you just need to go slow, have the right tools and a large tabletop to lay it all out on as you go. -- Alan Miller Underwater Photographer °°.°.°.°. http://home.earthlink.net/~uwphoto/ Pismo400, 1G RAM, OS X.4.2 eBay ID uwphotoer Live each day like it is your last because someday you'll be right. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Lombard display lines
single lines of pixels = failed LCD, cure = replace Caleb, somehow or other you damaged the LCD when you cleaned it. There are glued-on flat ribbon cables connecting the LCD's edge 'wires' with the LCD's onboard driver PCB. Those glued-on connections can fail or short, leading to anomolies such as your LCD displays.

Re: Lombard display lines
Dan, Don't be sorry. I was expecting to replace the LCD eventually, so it's not like I was completely unprepared. The lines don't even show up on white now, so I'm not going to worry about it until more show up. However, I'm still curious as to how hard it is to change a Lombard display, compared to rebuilding a PB 190 and soldering that little power connector.

Re: Lombard display lines
Caleb, I dont think the fix is not on this e-group.

I really hope the display isn't failing on this machine, but you never can tell. Sounds like a line of bad pixels. Can be caused by bad cable or VRAM IIRC but is usually an LCD problem. -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
