[QUOTE="GuybrushT, post: 721301, member: 66611"] Hello :) I recently got a refurbished Powerbook G4 and it was all fresh, new battery and everything. I only had it a few days when it started playing up. When I turn it on (whether it be on charge or with a full battery), it makes the chime sound and you can hear the computer working inside. The screen however stays black. When I touch the volume buttons you can hear them making the key sound. This also happens when I do finally get it on (just by keep turning it on or off, or sometimes removing the battery - now and then it actually turns on - whoop) - anyway, once it finally works and I put it to sleep, when I open it up again, you can hear it all working insde- but nothing on screen. On the very few occasions that it does turn on, the screen first flashes up quickly then goes off, then a second later it starts up as normal as if nothings wrong. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP? Does anyone know what is wrong and/or anything I can do that will help with it and ultimately stop this from happening. Any tricks or secret key combinations? Thanks you all so much for your help - fingers crossed :) , Sophia [/QUOTE]
