Wassup y'all,

I just got my ibook back from fixing (battery problem) and my screen when I got the ibbok back was black. The screen seems to work but I can't get the contrast back up. The screen blackness is the equivalent to the last contrast level (which you're still able to see a very little bit). But when i put the brightness up, I can see the contrast monitor appear on the screen and despite putting it back to its maximum, the screen stays the same.

Can someone help me please,
Thankx alot,

Mike

Are you saying that you can't increase the brightness? If that's the case, then your backlight may be broken.

Sounds like the backlight. Or maybe, in rare cases, a software problem.
