Rude Welcoming:

Smokler on June 8, 2004

I arrived home yesterday to discover that my laptop (Apple iBook G4) will power up but the screen stays completely black. Before I take it to the Apple store in Union Square or hurl it from the roof, does anyone have a solution to this?

Update: Went to the Apple Store who cleaned out my VRAM, updated the firmware and solved the problem in five minutes. Now that’s what I call service.

    Hit the brightness key (F2) over and over again? You can also try Apple + F2 to detect displays. If that doesn’t work, take it in, my brother.
