Hello,

After having my Powerbook for over 3 years, I'm starting to experience the flickering screen issue when the screen is at a certain angle. I can sort of finagle the screen by changing its pivot angle and get a solid connection, but it is getting progressively worse. I've seen other laptops with this same problem, so I know it's pretty common and not unique to my machine.

What is the official name for this sort of problem, and where might I find a repair guide for correcting this? What is involved?

Thanks in advance for your help!

The issue with the old iBooks was the screen cable. I'm sure you could source one of those for your PB and I would expect it to fix the problem.

If your picture is flickering, and can be rectified by adjusting the position, its almost certainly the display data cable. If its the backlight which is flickering, could be the inverter cable.
