The LCD on my Mac iBook G4 has just died. If I look with a flashlight, I can still see the picture on the display - there's just no backlight no matter what I do. I think the laptop took a little knock, and since then it's had no backlight.
The laptop itself is still working properly (in fact I'm using it now to type this); I just need to plug it into an external monitor to see anything - which kinda defeats the object of it being portable.
The backlight is not even flickering when I move the lid and adjust the brightness control; there's no response from it whatsoever (not even a dim glow). In the one part of the laptop that I can take apart; the slot beneath the wireless card where you put in additional memory and I can't see any cables that might have fallen out. Is there anything I can do to try and revive it, or am I doomed to having to send it away to Apple for fixing?
