OK, so how would one discover the vram size without a C screen handy? A utility which could detect the amount of vram present would be ideal. My 5300 of course displays only 256 colors with the screen I swiped from a 190CS. As I got the 5300 bottom half sans display I have no way of knowing what type was the original screen.
The chips on the LB would reveal the truth, so what would I look for next time I have it apart? Are there empty smt pads? Not quite the same topic, but I'm already here . . . that CS screen has just started doing a flicker thing, dimmer-brighter-dimmer-brighter, more like the backlight dimming than a contrast change. Seems to match my fiddling with it, squeezing the bezel, flexing the hinge, etc. Possibilities include a breaking or intermittant cable, loose connector(s), bad BL switch or invertor board. . . anything else I'm not aware of? tia, Dan K -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
