Hi All-

I've dropped my laptop a few too many times, so the screen has had a 1.5 inch stripe running up and down that flickered in and out functionality. I finally ordered the replacement screen, which I installed over the weekend. I used the High Res Screen (1680x1050 - it was only $30 more, so I figured I may as well), which was originally not available for this model of Mac, and is still a BTO option in the store. The replacement has worked excellently; no more flicker. But, the max resolution I see is 1440x900. I've restarted a few times, and switched the graphics from the 9400M to the 9600M GT, but still no change.

Does anyone know what I'd need to do to add 1680x1050 resolution to the options?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have obtained said laptop (for $25 AUD :D), and am in the process of refurbishing it (missing ram/hdd and broken screen, ant nests inside on heatsyncs and mold/corrosion splotching the case). I have cleaned the inside and out, added some ram and hdd, and detatched the screen (including webcam). Everything north of the screen hinges is removed. Will it be safe to boot this system without the screen? Will the OS installer run with an external DVI/VGA screen?

Also, will this apple motherboard adjust for the ddr2 being 1GB @ 533, when the original ram was 2GB @ 667?

Sorry if I'm asking general knowlege here, but this is my first mac, and i'm scared with the lack of bios (where I could set the ram speed/boot device etc) :P

Thanks in advance, Blufires]]> Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:31:14 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/477105#Post477105 Got a new laptop http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/477020#Post477020 TCPMeta

hello.

I have a 15" 1GHz G4 aluminium powerbook but no backlit keyboard.

a friend at a service point told me that my portuguese keyboard already has the lights since it was costly for apple to make localized keyboards with and without lights. but he could not confirm that I only need the two light sensors.

can anyone confirm this?

thank you

You might be wiser to go with the 1.25.
does that mean overclocking to 1.25GHz or buying a logic board with 1.25GHz?]]> Wed, 30 May 2007 07:49:52 PDT http://forums.applecentral.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/472177#Post472177
