hello ...am hoping someone can help me. I have Powerbook G4 15" Tit, I woke it up this evening and my screen is messed up. Its like looking up into blue sky and have all these bands of pink all over the screen. When I open up Safari is all wierd colors. I've tried shutting it down and then restarting it and that doesn't work. I'm fairly new to both laptops and Apple which by the way I just love. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Sounds to me like you have a bad logic board. My old TiBook had similiar problems. I took it to the Apple Store and they shipped it out to have the logic board replaced.

Well thanks...that did the trick..wiggled it and it went away. Does it do it often to you?...Is it something that comes with age of the laptop?...again thanks

This happened to my old tibook. Once in December, then it went away, and then again in February. Sent it in to Apple and they replaced the LCD. Seemed to fix it and I sold it after that with everything working perfectly.

Good luck

yeah...
mine does it often, and then will be fine for a week or so.
soon as i can make some non-work time (insert laugh here), i will get it fixed.

good luck !
