Amber, I'm afraid I can't give you an answer either, but I can assure you that you're not alone; the same thing has happened to my Wallstreet three times in the last two weeks. The first time it happened I zapped the PRAM and reset the power manager and that fixed it; the second time this method was unsuccessful so I reinstalled Jaguar and that fixed it. The third time, after trying the first method and lacking the stomach for the second, I booted into System 9 on a hunch and when I booted back into X the problem was gone. This was yesterday, so I can't testify to its long-term success. I've done some web searches on the subject, and I'm pretty sure it's not a backlight problem for me, but apparently this is a known issue with the Wallstreet and your situation may be different. Two things I do know in my situation are: 1. When it happens, it always happens at the same times (once at the login screen, which is fixable by pressing the brightness button, then again after waking from sleep, which is not), and 2. It doesn't happen at all in 9. >From what I've read, though, it's a combination of my hardware and my software, so YMMV. I found a forum in which people were discussing the same thing happening to their Tibooks. I haven't needed to try any of their methods yet (touch wood), but you may be able to pick up some tips: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020815092807966
