I have a 12" iBook G4 1.33ghz, 1.5gb ram
For about a month the screen would go distored/garbled on random occasions. Hard restart fixed it. There were also one or two occasions where it totally froze, without distortion.
Two days ago it the screen went distorted, i hard restarted and the screen just came back black. It makes all the usual loading up noises, chime and whatnot. The only improvement has been when i moved the lid back and forth, i ended up with this:
So maybe there was a wiring fault to the display. So i connected it to a monitor, starting up with it's usual noises, this was the most interesting thing it displayed:
It then went a shade of light blue and that's it.
So the question is, is there anything software-wise that i could try? Or is some part of the hardware well and truly dead?
Thankyou for any help at all.
