My uncle's iBook G3 crapped out a couple of years ago. Anyway my grandma who is a retired teacher and does a lot of genealogy( we have 5032 entries in our fam tree) was really impressed with reunion. She had to leave macs in about 2000 when FTM dropped mac support. Anyway she was wondering if I could fix my uncle's old iBook for reunion. They told me the video was not working. So I did a google search on iBook G3 video fix and there was a ton of results. So I got ready to re-solder the GPU. So I got the iBook. I had read that sometimes you can put pressure on the bottom and it should work. So before I took it apart I was playing with it. I was putting pressure on the bottom with a couch's arm rest. I re-adjusted the display and it worked!! After a couple of minutes I picked it up. It was still working fine. After a while I tilted the LCD back then the whole screen went black. I could still see the outline of the windows I had open. So I adjusted the display back and it came to life! So now I can put the LCD at about a 90 degree angle and it works. If i push it back the backlight goes off. Sometimes I can go a little further. Any suggestions to fix it?

I'm pretty sure it is the 14 inch model.
