Off Topic, but since all you Mac users are here .....
My Powerbook display died a couple months ago. I asked for help and was advised to replace the inverter board, which I did and it worked for about a week before the same problem coming back. I have checked and found out that the S-Video out is still working and am about to check tonight to see if the DVI w/DVI to VGA adapter will display too.
Any ideas of what could be killing the inverter board, or do you think I just got a bad one that only worked for a week and should try to return it? It may be too late already, but I will check.
Thanks
