Is there a picture or a description somewhere of how these bright spots look like? I have two small (2x2 mm and 4x2 mm) patches of white in the lower bottom corner of the screen of my PowerBook G4 15 from mid-2004. Hardly noticeable, unless I pay attention. Are these the infamous bright

Follow up question -- I have added an 1gb SODimm to the system, and while the memory manufacturer states compatibility with my iBook, the Apple iBook specs state 640 mb max. The spots probably started appearing well before the addition of the memory. Would sending in the iBook with the

Yeah, I believe that these are the infamous bright spots -- they are a result of the LCD mounted with an uneven stress distribution. I am not certain but I don't think they replace the LCd -- they just remount it. Simon On Dec 19, 2004, at 9:25 AM, Marcin Wichary wrote: Is there a picture

Can I add one of these SODimms to my G3 800 Mhz iBook? I have been waiting for the inevitable time that people would start trying to cram more RAM in than what Apple says you can use. On Dec 19, 2004, at 3:40 PM, Simon wrote: Follow up question -- I have added an 1gb SODimm to the system,

I'm with you but the thing is first, I need to know for SURE if the density of the 2100 SODimm's modules is too high, and second the form factor or number of pins/connections and shape might be different. I know that when I put a 133 Mhz stick in my old Ruby iMac it worked fine, even though

Yeah that kills my idea. Oh well, with the prices the way they are I will probably just sell the iBook on ebay where I got it and get a G4. On Dec 19, 2004, at 8:15 PM, Bruce Johnson wrote: On Sunday, December 19, 2004, at 05:30 PM, Timothy Domst wrote: I'm with you but the thing is first, I

Just out of curiousity -- how do these spots appear? When I brought my ibook home, it had no spots...how do these stress distributions change since the factory? I don't ever put anything on top of my ibook Simon On Dec 19, 2004, at 1:03 PM, Kyle Hansen wrote: On 12/19/04 12:42 PM, Simon
