Hi,
I have a powerbook g3 series wallstreet and i have recently installed OS10.2.8 (i don't have 0S 9 on it). When it boots up the backlight turns on during the grey apple screen, after, when the Welcome to Macintosh screen appears the backlight turns off. It can be turned on again by pressing the brightness button. However my real problem is that when waking it from sleep the backlight doesn't turn on and it cant be turned on by pressing the brightness button.

I've experienced this with a Wallstreet II PowerBook G3 I used from work some time ago. I just attributed it to an issue with Jaguar and ignored iut, although it was annoying.

Check out this link. Although the writer talks about the repair to the screen hinge, the writer also mentions the backlight issue and seems to have a resolution to the problem.
