[QUOTE="blanquita, post: 18895"] Hello everyone! I have an iBook G3 900, which I bought in the summer and I am now having one or two problems. In the last week or so, I have noticed that if i pick the ibook up by holding on to the palm rest, to the left of the track pad, the screen image breaks up into a mixture of the desktop and black streaky lines running across the screen. The effect is a bit like the morse code shutters on a signalling lamp on a warship. As a result the system freezes and the screen eventually goes completely black. On more than a few occassions, i restarted it, but the ibook didn't boot up properly after the chimes. Followed by a couple more attempts, it booted up and I ran the[I] /sbin/fsck -y[/I] command in single user mode to fix the '14 major errors and 5 minor errors'. After rebooting , it worked fine again, until i decided to move the ibook again. I have also used the hardware test cd and this came up with nothing, although I didn't move the iBook whilst this was running. I can only think that this is down to dodgy soldering or something of the sort. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance, Dom. [/QUOTE]
