Fixing the Dreaded iBook Backlight?
Aliencow inquires: "I've recently bought an iBook, and it started having the very common backlight problem. Basically, there are two types of things that can cause the problem: either the screen hinges pinching the cables, which is pretty easy to fix if you're not scared of opening things up; or it could be the logic board, which is what happened in my case. I've heard of someone being able to fix it by doing a bypass operation on the board, soldering a wire before the break and soldering it directly on the backlight connector. Aside from that, however I haven't been able to find much about how to fix that particular problem. Have any of you iBook-owning Slashdot readers had to repair your iBook like this? Any hints? If my repair is successful I'll surely snap a bunch of pictures and make a website, as this is a problem that affects a lot of iBook owners."
Why is this story important? And why does this story, Domain suspended keep getting rejected and ignored by the Slashdot editors? Oh the humanity!
They were the ones who were fooled. It's all about the marketing... you could put a happy face on shit and sell it to millions.
So, get a fucking Toshiba Tecra or something and stop whining.
That information has been more-or-less public for a long time. Seriously. I think Slashdot was the first place I found it.

Maybe it's because Apple users are pissed, because they paid too much for garbage hardware.
Are you really accusing Slashdot of having a pro-Windows bias? Apple zealots are even more out of touch with reality than I thought.
