SNIP HELP! I needed to replace a Optical drive on a 14" ibook (out of warranty, of course). I have done these before so wasn't too concerned. Everything went well UNTIL I went to test it. The computer started up great, login screen was good, I logged in, tested the optical drive (which worked) and then the screen went faint. I could still see that it was on, but it was almost like the backlight went out. I can restart it and the same thing will happen. I have tried a PRAM reset and it acts the same. I have checked to see if any wiring got pinched, but don't see any. Does anyone have an idea of what I did?? AND how I can fix it??
