  • Answer to: top half of screen is greyed out

    I don't know if this is relevant to the original problem asked. I got the winning bid on a 20" imac 2.0 and went to pick it up, When it was brought out and turned on I noticed dark patches at the corners of the screen and mentioned it to the seller, who promtly walked into the back of the store and took out another imac, turned it on and no dark edges to the corners. I think this points to variations in the screen manafacutre or rather bad quality control at the least. So I was wondering if the dark half is really a back light issue and not just a LCD issue.

  • Answer to: Boots to the Apple then turns itself off

    Thanks guys, But after checking and reading your replies and doing the dance, I got an answer back regarding returning it, which is a shame because it was a really clean machine externally, hardly any scratches to bee seen. Was sorely tempted to keep it and do the work, but then the thought of replacing the logic board and associated cost got the better of me. So afraid to say ti been repacked and remailed. Thanks for all the help though..we live and learn

  • Answer to: Boots to the Apple then turns itself off

    Just tried the original Powerbook install disks and they didn't get to load, before it shut off. Then tried the Tiger 10.3 which is what it is supposed to have and it souded like it loaded the disc then froze after pushing the apple logo to one side and displaying a couple of small lines to the left of that. About an inch long to the top left of the apple logo. Does it sound software or logic? Thanks

  • Answer to: Boots to the Apple then turns itself off

    No effect! I take it it's the F8 button as the Powerbook doesn't have an FF button. It still goes between the apple screen to shut down or restart screen back to the apple and shutdown? Thanks
