Power Failure Caused Video Problems ....
Yesterday our neighbor was messing around with the circuit breakers and cut the power to our dining room, which turned off my external HD.
I can still boot from the external HD, but there is a serious video problem now. I'm still online with the external HD, but having visual difficulty with certain things (buttons, links, scroll tabs, and pictures are really bad quality, e-mail hard to see ...).
I can still boot from the internal HD (iBook G4), and the video is just fine. So the problem doesn't seem to be with the iBook's video card.
I reinstalled Tiger (10.4) on the external HD, but still have the same problem.
I ran Disk Warrior and Disk Utility, but still have the same problem.
Any ideas what might be the problem, and how to fix it?
