Nora this was a recall way back when that Apple did I think 2 to 3 years ago.
http://www.apple.com/support/ibook/faq/ You problem is caused be the way the video cable to the LCD is routed thru the hinge. I have repaired a few of these back in the day. Quite an involved fix requiring the complete disassembly of the iBook. At this point as Eric suggested a new MacBook would be cheaper. MacAuthority has a lot of cheap iBooks if you do not want to send a lot of money. http://www.macauthority.com/index.html On Dec 14, 2007, at 11:47 AM, Nora J.
