You can plug in an external monitor and you should be good to go. It
sounds like the back light is either failing, or you have a loose
plug somewhere.
As long as you can get the PB to mirror the screen, the setting
should stay that way.

I am in a small city in Indonesia (Malang). My Powerbook is
faulty. The screen keeps going dead. The machine keeps running, but
after about 10 minutes the screen goes black. Sometimes it comes
back after sleep (closing the lid or menu command). Sometimes is
looks like the brightness is turned down really low.
After a restart it comes back to life, but for shorter and shorter
periods - down to about 10 mins. Hope I have time to finish this
email!
Any suggestions? Is it the sleep switch on the motherboard? A
loose connection? Related to the stiff hinges? Overheating?
Is there any way I can get the machine to be set up to continuously
mirror the screen, so I can use an external monitor? I ran the
hardware test, but no errors were found.
Any other ideas?
I have to give a big talk on Wednesday.
Hoping for some help...
