Hi,
The LCD backlight on son's Wallstreet running 10.2.8 sometimes refuses to illuminate, in spite of attempts to adjust it up using the brightness button above the keyboard.
It works fine under 9.2.2, illuminating over the full brightness range.
It looks like a software problem. Does any one have any clues as to what is going wrong and how to fix it?
I don't know if it applies but I ran into something similar. I have a Wallstreet running 10.2.6.
In my case, following a crash the backlighting would initially light up during boot but would later black out. Once the system booted I could hit the brightness button and it would light up. But if I put it to sleep and then woke it up the screen would not light up and there was no response from the brightness button. The solution I found was to restart in OS 9.2.2 then put it to sleep and wake it back up again. After that I could reboot into OS X and all would be well.
