[QUOTE="kahlil88, post: 1281639, member: 47208"] I'm familiar with the horrible GPU issue that plagued the iBook G3, and I've dealt with plenty. However my iBook G4 is having an entirely different problem. It's not a GPU issue because I can connect a monitor to the mini-VGA and there are no video glitches or freezing. It's just the internal display that doesn't receive a video signal but the backlight is on, so it has to be the inverter or display cable. Glad to hear you got yours working, although I highly recommend selling it ASAP once it's working reliably. Last time I worked on an iBook G3, I tried shimming the GPU and sent it to a company that re-flows the solder for $50, but it still kept crapping out. [/QUOTE]
