We'll need more details to be able to answer this question. Which
details I'll leave as an exercise for you. No need to clutter up this
reply with details, right?

How far did you get through your "try?" Did the installer appear to
complete successfully or did anything "interesting" happen along the
way. Where you get the Leopard disc? What are the specs on your
PowerBook?

I presume you are using a retail copy of Leopard otherwise it will not work
- install disks are machine specific. Next minimum requirements are 512RAM

I tried to install Leopard on my Powerbook G4, and now it won't load
at all. I get the Apple screen, and then nothing but blue. Help!

there are two causes for the backlight failure. one is the hinge cable
and the other is the motherboard itself. it sounds like yours might
not actually be caused by the hinge cable.

There is, IMHO, no good reason to keep it on. It's just wasting power.
There IS a reason, not to close/open the lid more often than necessary: the
cable assy's through each hinge are being stressed every time the screen is
articulated. Eventually they break. I've had to replace them on my wife's iBook

Seems likely, but in my case the PowerBook was past even the
availability of AppleCare coverage (it was about 5 years old) and the
iBook HD failure was in the first year (so paid AppleCare wasn't an
issue).

Nothing that could cause me problems was on the H/D in the machine, all
that was either on CDs or my portable H/D, but all my links to pages
were on the main drive and there was a backup done by the repair center.
They send me an older version of the OS which came with the machine,
but I had updated and just reinstalled that when I got the computer

A couple of years ago my blue/which iBook Claim shells screen went out,
I took it to a dealer friend of mine for repair, he sent in in to Apple
for a replacement, they did not have one in stock, but put out a world
wide part alert to locate one. It took a week to locate one and another
to get it to them and my little machine was sent back to me. The one

For what it's worth, I'm certainly an "average" user as far as Apple's
customer database is concerned, and the two times I've had to ship in a
machine for service - a PowerBook with a failed power board and an iBook
with an HD that died under warranty - it's been back in my hands less

Thank you so much.
I'd like to pretend to you that you can solve Mac computer problems, to
flatter your vanity, but I'm afraid you have proved yourself to be a bit of
a disappointment. And you're now so cross about it that you're blaming me.
