uh-oh. Have you used the brightness keys on the keyboard. I have to ask that. If they don't work, try holding the FN key down while using the brightness keys. (Function Key, not the curse word) If that doesn't work, either the inverter board, or back light have went out on your LCD. Brian

No go, light does not leak through, also the Ray's undo-plug thing did not work. It boots up fine, but no picture of any kind - black night has descended. Marta On Apr 10, 2006, at 5:41 PM, Jerry Freeman wrote: Sounds like a bulb. You can often shine a flashlight through the Apple

My back light went out just a few months ago. Back to Apple it went. It works now. Could that be it? Eric On Apr 10, 2006, at 6:14 PM, Marta Edie wrote: No go, light does not leak through, also the Ray's undo-plug thing did not work. It boots up fine, but no picture of any kind - black
