If you have a monitor handy, you might try plugging it and see if it lights up.
Thanks for the tip, Hector. With the external monitor, the PowerBook works great. I spent about an hour on it to make sure it's definitely not the power or logic board, or hard drive. Back on the LCD after that, I got the same dark screen, but this time also a lot of crazy-wavy lines rather than a desktop, so it might be the inverter as well as the backlights. Does this sound correct? I think it's probably a good idea to replace the whole LCD unit. Thank you, everyone, for your tips and hints.
