Hello, I have an iBook G4 that I have had for 2 years. Now when I turn it on the screen stays dark. I can only see my background if I hold the computer under a bright lamp. I have the light turned all the way up, and charging it also does not help. I have it set to never go to sleep, so I don't know what the problem is? Please let me know if you could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi there Amanda and welcome !

to check whether it's a software fault, try and boot off your original disk.

If when booting from that, the screen is bright, the chances are it's software.

If however the screen stays 'dark' then chances are that either a cable has worked lose, or the 'backlight' of your screen has 'blown'

Have a read of this and reset the PMU and PRAM to see if that helps.

If not then it will be a trip to your local Applestore, sorry.

regards
