several reports of an nvram reset curing a pink tint on Lombard PBs and I'm wondering if this might work on iBook. Also, the nvram reset may help the battery. Probably not, but worth a try. dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline

distinguish between Pismo and Lombard is to read the name printed on the screen bezel. If just PowerBook then it's a Pismo, otherwise it's a Lombard. A 400 Lombard can run any version of X (so far), the later the better. dan k . http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho
