Yes I certainly did. I also tried disconnecting the AC adapter and trying it. I also formatted the hard drive with zeros, then zapped the PRAM and tried it. The screen is buggered. Also, it DID have white splodges on the display, which was the reason for the product recall in the...

UPDATE: This site is the best. Thanks to you guys, I phoned up Apple and told them about the product recall. They feigned ignorance until I read out the URL jsnap gave me, and after 10 minutes on hold (they STILL have christmas music, urgh), agreed to replace the screen for free. Taking...

Hello everybody. I was wondering if anybody could help. I have a 15" 1Ghz Powerbook G4 running OS 10.2.x, with something odd happening to the screen. When I turn it on, the Apple logo and spinning clock thing appear on the powerbook's screen just fine, but when it goes into the OSX login...
