  • Answer to: iBook screen switches off/goes black when opened more than 45 degrees

    From the immense number of articles found under "iBook, back screen" on Google, I'm under the impression, that the defect is found in bad soldering of the main IC ( one inch square) to the board. By applying pressure onto this IC with metallic a metallic insert and four plastic grommets on top of the thin metal sheetcover, the problem seems to be solved. There is a french group which have looked into this problem, and apparently found a solution.
