[iBook] Screen troubles iBook 600

[Todd Doerpinghaus]

Tom,

Sounds like a logic board failure.  I just had the
same thing last week on my g3 900.  It took me about 6
tries of rebooting to get all my files on my firewire
drive because the screen became too fuzzy to read.

Applecare had it back to me in 3 days.
