Well, after tinkering with both of my 2400cs, it seems that I cannot ascertain why the backlight for the LCD is not coming on. It seems to flicker a moment at the corners when powering up, but nothing after that. Will still work with an external monitor, luckily! I checked the ribbon cables and power cables, tore apart the casing, re-seated all of the wiring...........nothing. Anyone have a spare LCD screen that they'd sell for less than the ungodly amount PowerBook guy has it for??? ~_^ John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
