Fix a misbehaving backlight on PowerBook G3 machines
Authored by: webster phreaky on Jul 12, '03 01:58:37AM

First, the magnetic problem with certain IBM/Hitachi and Toshiba 2.5-in HDD is well documented, see the story at Upgrade a PowerBook G3, Part 1 and 2 ( http://homepage.mac.com/techedgeezine/cart_mac_pb1.html ). The fix is there too.

I also have a backlight problem with OS X and a Wallstreet, but very different. Whenever I boot up in OS X 10.1..5, the backlight goes to full bright (this never happens when booting in OS 9.2.2). Never happened before installing OS X (separate partition, as you should).

I've tried Zapping the PRAM, nothing. This makes no sense. Anyone with an idea??
