Hi David,

Any chance I could get the name of your insurance company and the type of
policy?

Cheers
Paul

I had that recently on bronze PBG3: broken (OK dropped) screen 
replaced, then the replacement got the flickers and ultimately went 
very dark (but you could juuust navigate your way around if you had a 
good light in the room, funnily enough). Replacement screen from Apple 
did the same thing: "defective also" according to tech. A further 
screen and a board later and all appears well. Thank God for insurance.

Hi

A friend has a PB G3 but the screen is very dim, you can see the desk
top but only just, how do they get illumination?
TIA
Clive


If they've turned up the brightness (using the F2 key) and still 
can't see anything it's a good bet the backlight on the screen has 
blown. If it's a Pismo (PowerBook 2000 Firewire) there are 
instructions at:




Or just google for other instructions.

Have fun,
Shay

Hi

A friend has a PB G3 but the screen is very dim, you can see the desk
