Unhappy Powerbook Screen Black

I gave my Powerbook 15" G4 screen a wipe and after rebooting it has gone very dark. There is still an image there but I need a torch to see it. I've tried the brightness controls and rebooting several times but it is still the same. Is there anything else I can try before taking it to a Mac repairer.

Many Thanks
Sandy

Hi Sandy
I have seen this before with the 15" G4's, it tends to be a problem with internal components and requires an Apple service centre to repair.
Have you tried resetting nvram and zapping pram? Instructions here-

Good luck
