So the screen on my Ibook g3 went dark. I could see the icons and mouse but barley. I adjusted the brightness but it was still black, although i could barely see the sun icon. After some reasearch i found out that this model has persistent problems with black screens. so much so that apple offered an extended warranty untill march 24 or three years from the time of purchase. Unfortunately i missed the waranty by 4 months. After some more research I concluded that it most likely was the Invertor so i took it to a shop nearby (Westchase area) and the tech man troubled shooted it and agreed that it was the invertor. He wanted to charge me $200 for everything. Unfortunately i just upgraded my ibook(512ram, 60gb, tiger, adobe creative suite, etc.) and i cant afford another $200 especially for a part that im told costs $20. So i ask my fellow board apple geeks if 1) this is the normal rate for this fix and 2) if anyone knows of a cheaper place that i can take my ibook too. Thanks
