Hi! So I recently picked up an old Powerbook G4 and noticed a peculiarity with it.[br]
When I turn the machine on, the backlight turns on initially for about a minute or so, then just goes completely dark. Shining a light on the display reveals it is still displaying image correctly.[br]
[br]
Furthermore, , most times it does it, but rarely it doesn't, and even rarer so it does it, then about a couple minutes down the line the backlight comes back to life.[br]
I'm not even sure where to begin on diagnosing the issue with this machine, or where to even begin looking for replacement parts.[br]
[br]
If it helps to know, the battery for certain is completely dead, and I am sourcing a replacement, if for some reason my primary issue is somehow related to this.
