[Ti] Black Lines in Display

[S. Moussly]

Ron,

How were you able to reset the connectors? Did you just unplug them? 

It's funny, because just today I noticed  black lines on my display. I
don't know if it has anything to do with OS or the machine. After
restarting my PB the lines disappeared. 

Sam

I took my Powerbook into an Apple Store.  The "genius" told me that it
would
be $1400 to get it repaired (he called it a tier 4 repair).  This
motivated
me to get inside the computer myself.  I reset the little connectors
that
connect the display to the motherboard, and the problem has disappeared!
I've been working on the machine for several hours.  My fingers are
crossed.

I thought of this trick because I used to work on Apple II computers
years
and years ago.  I'd say 90% of the problems we had with those machines
were
fixed by resetting memory chips, connectors, and such.
