| PB 520c Contrast issues | |
| Posted by: Carboy7 on 2016-05-02 13:55:08 I have a PowerBook 520c and there was a bit of a problem with the display where if you poke the display in the right place, the contrast will bug out. Sometimes if you hit in the same spot again, the display will become readable, but unstable. Basically, it goes from unreadable bright, to unreadable dark, to unstable dark, and then basically flicker. I have saved a 520c from the depths of a neighbor's garage! Are you happy now? | |

| Posted by: Carboy7 on 2016-05-02 15:46:38 Not sure. Can anyone provide a picture of the board or anything electronic that may reside behind this plastic panel?  | |
