But that'll have no impact on the built in screen. The removable video card on a 5300 only control external video. If there is nothing on the built in screen, I'd check the video cable between the logic board and the screen, an extremely common cause of problems on a 5300/190 -- Best wishes Malcolm Cornelius - The Powerbook Fanatic http://www.pbfanatic.co.uk -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
