Again thanks a lot for all that posts about the LCD darkening. Mad Dog: Do you really want to try replacing the backlight in your Duo 280? If so, I'm very excited about what will happen...
But I'm a bit sceptical about the backlight theory. But only a bit because I am far too dumb concerning that LCD stuff to be a respectable discussional partner. ;-) However. What I have recognized is that the darkening does not only grow from the left and right borders. It also comes from the top border (more slowly. but it does). Which is kind of interesting because I don't think that there is also a backlight on the top of the screen. But ok. Maybe it is also influenced by the heat of the side backlights... I told you. I'm quite stupid concerning that stuff. But I've put a Picture of my screen online. So you can see what I mean. Unfortunately I have shot this picture too early. So there is only a bit of the top darkening. But it really gets worse when running the PB540 for some hours longer. http://www.webkreativ.de/temp/pb540_lcd.jpg I think the question that still remains is: Is it the too hot backlight causing the darkening or the exhausted LCD? And has anyone yet tried to ask Apple what the problem might be? Well. A last question: Tom - You wrote that i.e. DigiKey has these backlights. I took a look at their page but there was only a lot of confusion for me. Because I have no idea which one might be the right one. Do you know which backlight I would need for the Powerbook 540? Or does anyone else? Because if I could organize some. Why shouldn't I give it a try... Thanks, Kai -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
