[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 383553, member: 8287"] One friend of mine with an iBook G3-800 had issues like yours. He fixed it and claimed it was something to do with the magnetic reed switch that puts the machine into sleep mode. Just thought I would mention it as I have seen it mentioned elsewhere also. Either that or the replacement inverter board has issues. If neither of those tips pans out it's probably the backlight tube but that would be the last thing I check. The fact it comes on at all makes me think it's something else. [/QUOTE]
