Sounds like the power inverter (I think that's what Apple replaced) as opposed to the backlight. At least that's what it was on my son's 500 that showed similar symptoms.

I have an IceBook 500 that probably needs to be repaired at a cost of around $300US. Would you
repair or simply sell for scrap and purchase a new IceBook?


A: Gee, I have a powerbook 180, wallstreet, lombard, and 550 ti-book. They are all turned on right now. Although refurb'ed ibook's are going really cheap at the Apple store right now, they aren't going for $300.
It would be easier to answer if you told us what was wrong so we could all give you advice on how to fix it. I just resoldered my/my daughter's charge plug for free---if you view my time as having no value.
