Help: My PG 15'' 1,5 Ghz doesn't recognice its built in LCD

Hi,
I have a strange problem with my PB.
When booting today the screen stayed black with weird lines on it. After hooking the PB up to an external monitore I was able to adjust the resolution BUT my PB does not recognize the built in LCD anymore as such. Instead the built in LCD is recognized as a VGA monitore.
Problem is the resolution. The only workable resolution is 1280x768. However, the the lower bottom of the LCD is messed up. Also, its not possible to adjust the brightness anymore with the according buttons
Can anybody help me with this? Is there anything I can do? Any hint is greatly appreciated!
PB 15'' 1,5 GHz 1GB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

Hi, Daniel. It sounds as though your Powerbook has a serious hardware problem that will require repair. But since it's an Aluminum Powerbook and this is the Titanium PB Discussion area, you may want to repost the question in one of the Aluminum PB forums, where people more familiar with your model will see it.

  • TM doesn't see its backup after migrating to new iMac and restoring system.

    TM doesn't see its backup even though it still exists on the HD. I just migrated to a new iMac. After using OS X disc to 'Restore System From Backup' with TM backup it was showing the latest backup attempt had failed. The same disk was highlighted under TM Preferences too. But once I reset it TM began to make a new backup under a new folder/computer name (adding a number to the end). Is there a way to make TM see the existing BU and continue on?
    Message was edited by: Sakahara

    I'll try to recall to the best of my memory what I did... It's been stressful, frustrating, trying to deal with it.
    Computers:
    1) iMac6,1 (Late 2006) Intel 2.16 GHz Nvidia OS X 10.5.6
    2) iMac8,1 (Early 2008) Intel 2.8 GHz ATI OS X 10.5.4
    Perform final backup of iMac #1 with TM and SuperDuper!
    Shut down and disconnect.
    Hook up iMac #2 and power up.
    After OS X intro select 'Transfer from another Mac' with Set Up Assistant (note: this was from the SD! backup).
    Everything was selected for transfer; Users, Apps, Network,..etc. (I assumed it would update OS X too).
    Transfer complete.
    Restart.
    Log in.*
    * I have both Admin and User account. I noticed things weren't performance was off; log in was slow (Menu Bar items took longer to display, clock too), and generally overall apps,..etc seemed slow. Apps were asking for license and reg info too.
    Second attempt (restore system from TM backup):
    Startup from OS X 10.5.6 disc.
    Erase HD with DU.
    Select 'Restore System from Backup'.
    Select TM backup.
    After that completed, restart computer.
    And that brings us to now. Well, sort of.
    So what is the proper way to migrate as it were from between two different Intel iMac's? I have to assume I transfered over system files that caused a conflict with the new iMac's HW, correct? What can I do now? I've already performed new backups of both SD! and TM. I didn't think it mattered since either way the backups come from my old system. I'm guessing I should have updated OS X first on the new iMac and only selected User files, Apps, Network settings,.. etc., for transfer, or maybe installed apps fresh. I thought I was doing it correctly.
    The new iMac still seems off with performance to me. I've tried performing multiple 'Repair Disk Permissions' too. There are about 32 differing permissions but DU doesn't seem able to repair them as they come up again and again. Here are some examples;

    My final attempt to straighten this out is to install from OS X disc fresh (erase/install). Transfer only User files, Network settings, anything pertinent to my Users (email, browser, keychain,..),... and nothing else. Reinstall 3rd-Party Apps. I had to do this before after updating from Tiger to Leopard because it didn't take well.
    Any help/insight appreciated.

    Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on pt25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

    MR,
    Apparently the import wasn't a good one.
    The best option at this point might be to start a new table. Insert a new Table, Copy the old table cell range, select the first cell in the new table and Edit > Paste and Match Style. This will throw out all the old formatting. A bit of work, but a nice clean start.

  • What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

    What is the temperature limit of the finger to work on iPhone touchscreen? I'm asking this, because I've noticed that when my finger gets too warm (about 104oF) the screen of my iPhone 5 doesn't recognize its touch. Thank you.

    I understood. Emphasizing that this is still a guess, when you touch the screen it compares your fingerprint at that time to the one you originally recorded. The fact that the finger is warmer may have a small effect on the fingerprint making it appear different than the original colder one. Temperature differences cause things to expand and contract and that may be having an effect on the comparison. You could try recording a fingerprint after doing what you are doing and then see if it will be recognized when you do the same thing to log into the phone. I know that prior to iOS 7.1 for a few minutes after I would wash my hands the phone had difficulty recognizing the fingerprint. Don't know if it was temperature or moisture that caused the temporary change induced by the hand washing. That improved with version 7.1 I think.

    help! placed grayscale TIFF won't let me change its color swatch...
    Tried re-launching application, re-booting PC in case of a technical glitch. Something with graphics frames that needs to be re-stored that I am unaware of?
    I also tried creating a new page, importing another image and still experiencing the issue.
    How do I "re-set" my settings so it will work once again?
    Thank you!

    Here's the info on resetting your prefs: Replace Your Preferences
    But that's not likely the problem. Are you sure the images are really grayscale mode? What format are they saved in? They cannot be colorized in ID if they are transarent or lack a Background layer.
