hey all, long time listener first time caller, nice to be here. I've got a quick question. Does anyone know where the backlight on the iBook display gets it power from?

I broke the hinge on my dual-USB iBook. I picked up a replacement top case and dropped my fully-functional LCD inside it. It boots up and I can see the display working, but the backlight isn't lighting up. I'm trying to figure out where the fault may lie.

any help is so much appreciated.

thanks,
Mike

All cables related to the display run through the hinge. So, when you broke the hinge...

dude, thanks for replying, but did you read the post?

I picked up a replacement top case and dropped my fully-functional LCD inside it.

it's a new case, new hinges & new cables.

I'm trying to figure out if the cables inside the new case control the power to the backlight. If the case I got off eBay wasn't "tested & 100% working" like the dude said.
