Hi aLL:
I have recently bought a G4 Ti 867 on OS 10.2.8 and I was about to write and encourage anyone else hesitating to transfer from their beloved 3400c BUT.....
I need help with something bad that has happened.
Let me explain the whole sad story: Yesterday I put the computer on sleep for a few hours and returned to wake it up. I saw the screen light up briefly and then all went black. Silent. Dead.
Well, after an hour of vainly trying every trick I knew I rang Applecare and we traced it to the battery being very low and it simply did not have enough power to come alive again. Red face! The power cord had loosened. Be warned.
Well, firming up that connection certainly enabled me to wake it up. BUT... the screen is now an acid green. I have tried re-setting display options with no success. Even re-set the PRAM.
The computer functions fine (I was beginning to love it) but of course all images are corrupted - like a solarised image but more fragmented. The windows also have edges that "echo".
I live so far away from any town that I want to try and settle this myself rather than send it off by post.
And, woulden't you know it (Friday 13) ...despite the friendly Applecare folk, they have not yet received my APplecare registration (posted six days ago) and their help is therefore limited. And I have a weekend of acid green Aqua facing me all weekend.
Has anyone ever experienced this?
I have owned a Mac SE, LCIII, LC630 and Powerbooks 100, 170 and 3400c and this is new to me. As is OS X of course.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
