Re: PB 3400c too dim
Hi, proud powerbook owners! I have a question about my 3400c (189 mhz). It seems to me that the screen is not as bright as it should be. The brightness switch is cranked up and when I look at the Control Panel for video and sound it has two settings: standard mac gamma and uncorrected gamma. The standard mac gamma is brightest, but still not bright enough for my taste. Is there any way to fix this? It is running system 8.6. Thankyou, DS Phelps backlight almost certainly burning out. bummer. You can fit a new one but i think its easiest to replace the entire screen assembly.

Thankyou, DS Phelps Is the software controls and brightness button dont work, it is likely something in the screen hardware. Maybe a backlight tube failing ? Mad Dog Well, it's not that they don't work. They do affect the brightness, it just doesn't go quite high enough in my opinion. Is the backlight tube failing the ONLY explanation left? If so...bummer. Does that require a new display? Thanks. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
