Nancy:

Mine does the same thing-- won't shut down. Try doing a keyboard PRAM reset. Hold down the command-option-P-R on startup and make sure it does it at least four times. Sometimes that will knock it out of whatever voodoo happens.

Thanks for responses to:
I have a 3400c/180 powerbook that was working perfectly until POOF - while
typing, the screen just disintegrated and went blank.

First: I've tried pulling the battery and resetting the PRAM. No go.

Second:  The screen seem perfectly black when computer is on.

Third: I cannot shut the PB down w/power key. Won't shut down unless I
pull the battery or unplug the AC adapter.


I've even tried connecting a monitor to it.  Nothing.


Thanks again, Nancy
