[QUOTE="m00nraker, post: 671984, member: 58129"] Heres my other thread about the other laptop i was given... It is a 12' iBook G3 600Mhz. When I try to start it, I can hear the chimes but the screen stays black. If i tilt the screen back and forth sometimes it will show solid gray. I opened it up to see if I could notice anything unusual, and notice that 2 wires from the inverter cable have snapped off right before they go into the connector. Could this be causing my problem?? I am assuming it is, and I attempted to fix it with my amateur soldering skills, but no joy.;P Would purchasing a new inverter cable solve this issue?? Or could this be an issue with the GPU separating from the logic board? [/QUOTE]
