Re: pb 1400 screenk problems
Drew/Mad Dog: It could also be a poorly seated display connector - you might try checking to make sure the display connector is fully seated by disconnecting, then reconnecting it. Thanks for the help. After reseating the display cables, the computer screen popped up just fine. I hadn't properly connected them when I swapped the screens. The fix took less than 15 minutes though I'd been playing with it for several days. Frank C. Modica 501 E.

Re: pb 1400 screenk problems
Software or hardware problem? :-( That sounds like a hardware problem to me... I think it's probably a red herring that it seems to go haywire when you launch certain software. It sounds like you may have damaged the screen cables when you swapped displays. It could also be a poorly seated display connector - you might try checking to make sure the display connector is fully seated by disconnecting, then reconnecting it. I sincerely hope it's not a data cable problem, though, as that can be relatively expensive to fix. Good luck!

Drew In no particular order: 1) bad LCD cable (swap cable) 2) bad LCD (swap old screen back) 3) bad VRAM (save for last - replace VRAM) 4) metal bits on the VRAM pins (use canned air to blow on VRAM) Mad Dog -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
