Hmmm.... you think its the backlight getting old ? I remember I tried seeing if the backlight was the problem with my DUo 280, and the light came on at full strength.... but if you are saying it takes a bit to see. I will do a backlight swap and see if this works. thanks, Mad Dog -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
