Hi again,
We have total success! The fix worked just as you said, the pins were different and we had to use a 2k2 resistor as 33k was too dim - hasn't caught fire yet. Thanks again for your assistance - we would never have known where to begin with this.
Superb!
Cheers
Stan
Hey there,
Thanks very much for the information, I'll let you know how it pans out!
Aplologies to all for interrupting the thread, I'm new to this and didn't know how else to get in touch re the iBook.
Thanks again,
peace.
Hi there,
I'm a technician for Napier University and have just read your post from January regarding the repair to an iBook back-light. I have a student's G3 iBook with the same problem - definitely the video chip. Could you possibly give me some more info as to where you permanently pulled up the control signal of the backlight?
Any help much appreciated, thanks
Stanley
