I posted this under another thread of mine but thought it deserved its own thread the other thread is here: http://forums.macnn.com/showthread.p...hreadid=180404
Well, I am waiting for a new power supply to be deleivered under warranty and borrowed someone elses power adapter.
Anyway something very screwy is going on. I had it turned on and bumped it. I suddenly got horizontal lines down one side of teh screen. IT kept workig so I jsut carried on. adjusted the screen, the lines returned and it froze. I rebooted, it did the same thing again and froze somewhere between typing my password in and completing the log on.
Rebooted again, screen went gray and then, (now this is totally wierd) the screen started going black from one corner until eventually the whole screen was black. It looked kinda like a pool of water spreading or something.
I have removed the battery and am going to let it sit and think about what it has done over night. TOmorrow I will bring in my OS disks etc.
Any suggestions guys? I really need this computer working, I have just on a month till my thesis is due.

Sounds more like a hardware issue than a software issue, how old is the iBook? I assuming it's still under warranty? If so I'd get it looked at straight away, even if it means having to type your thesis at school for a few weeks whilst the laptops being repaired. God luck.

that was pretty much what happened to mine last sunday
took it to an apple repair place
and it was fixed in 2 days
it was the logic board
worked fine then i rebooted, and the screen was black, and if i bumped it sometimes it would turn on with the lines on the side
hopefully yours is still under warrenty, just take it in, quick as a wink for them to fix mine, and my hard drive was safe, thank god since i had school work on it too
