Hi Sam
Remember you can run Windows, Linux etc on your new iMac, Macbook etc.
I can help you with that when the time comes. What extra compatibility
do you need with the schools that's not already there?
Have a look at the Apple ed student shop for some prices. You should
be able to get a tax rebate for student use too. Didn't Mr Rudddd
offer that last year? Might even get an iPod or printer thrown in.

Thankyou for your replies
Sorry for the delay in replying, my weekend ended up flying by
without me realising it.
I have a Power PC G4, and as much as I wrote for clarification I
think I was hoping you would all go ... no, its fine, all computers
do that from time to time, its good ....
Looks like I may need to look at something new rather soon ... now
the debate, PC so its compatible for the kids school, or my lovely
mac, and sort out compatibility later lol. I could see all the
icons, pictures, everything on the screen Ronni, it was just dim,
like someone had turned the brightness down.

Hello everyone,
This morning when I woke up the screen on my Emac running 10.4.11
was dim.
I recalibrated the colours and it seems to be ok now. I was just
wondering if this was the right thing to do, and if my computer
is on its way out?
Also, why would it happen? I've had the computer for a few years
now and never seen this before.
Hi Sam,
Look closely at the screen, can you still see the icons in the
background?
If you can and it seems extremely dark, then your problem is
likely an LCD inverter board.
This isn't a terribly expensive part but getting it replaced might
not be cheap labor wise.
An LCD inverter is what powers the backlight for the screen.
I would suggest you backup everything you need on your computer
to an external Hard Drive, as the eMac could well be on its way out.
Cheers,
Ronni
Except eMacs have CRT's not LCD's? Which would mean it's the analog
board or equivalent.
Have fun,
Shay
