Happy Holidays WAMmuggers!
I have a quick question....I've recently bought a 2nd hand PowerBook G3
- Pismo 500. It's a lovely machine but there's one li'l issue with it -
the screen is rather dim and the white balance is somewhat off. I've
tried calibrating it with SuperCal and can coax some passable results
with it...but a side by side comparison with a friend's clamshell iBook
reveals that my pismo's screen is still indeed dim and the white
balance is off (it is obviously tinted with an orangey hue.)
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could fix this or what
might be the cause of the problem? I was reading on some forums that
the LCD inverter board might need replacing, others suggested that a
new LCD would be the way to go. Others still suggest that it might be
the backlight that needs replacing. Being a student, the cheapest
option is the preferable one for me...and while the discolouration is
not a significant problem for me, it would be nice to have more natural
colours to facilitate graphic work.
Oh yes, and I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it, but there
is a dent on the LCD in the corner of the screen - it is not cracked,
but there is an obvious depression there and the colours along the dent
mark are a little different to the rest of the screen.
