[QUOTE="simonhead666, post: 737265, member: 69893"] concerning point (1) There is a magnet underneath the keyboard that triggers something behind the LCD.. if the magnet is missing or the sensor behind the LCD has been jogged loose.. the LCD will stay constantly on..Or off depending where the sensor is (close to the latch which might be magnetic) it's a simple but effective way of telling the computer when the lid is closed or open.. I too have lost mouse control from the trackpad, when I hook up a external mouse, it cuts in and out... Short circuit in the USB? or logicboard issues? the onboad keyboard seems to work ok.. I have a re-built 867mhz G4 with 1gig of ram [/QUOTE]
