Hi.

I've had my iBook for about 2 months now, and about a week ago, it started playing up. It starts up just fine, and it gets to the desktop. Then, about 2 seconds later, it goes into standby mode. I press a key, and it wakes up, but the screen is so dark I can't see anything.

Now, I've phoned up Apple Support, and they told me to run various tests, like the Apple Hardware Test. Everything came up as working, and no problems were found.

So, I was wondering if anyone here could help?

Thanks!

If I were you, I'd go straight to an Apple store, if there is one near you. Let them deal with the issue, and they can tell you what went wrong, if they are able to fix it. You are still under warranty, assuming that you bought it new, so let them take a look at it, if no one else here has an answer for you.
