ok so i just got my Ibook G4 logic board back from repair, they repaired the GPU and now it only shows a black screen. I've tried researching the problem to see how i could try to remedy this, but couldn't find anything. any help would be appreciated, just need to know what i could do to test it out or make it work. when i hold the power button, it turns on, and makes the start up sound, but the screen stays blank. the lights will work if i press the number/caps lock buttons.
problem is it was working ok before the board was repaired![]()

Uhm......Take it back????

Seriously, take it back. Shoddy repair work that suggests they didn't test it before sending it back to you.

can't just take it back, i live in Hawaii, it was sent to GPU Medics and apparently i'm finding out they've had issues a lot with angry customers. that actually was the second time i sent the board back to them, it worked fine after the 1st time, then started glitching so they said send it back. i did so, and it took them over a month to reply to numerous calls and e-mails i sent, then after threatening them with police helping the situation, they finally sent it back.
i'm not gonna go through all that mess again, i simply wanted to know if anyone off hand knows how to fix the issue.
does anybody know any tips/tricks to fix the issue, cause posting replies telling me to send it back is not really helping me, although i appreciate the effort to help guys, i just wanna try and repair it myself rather than spend more $$ and risk the ridiculous issues happening again -
any other ideas out there???

You should attempt a disassembly to see if they simply "forgot" to connect the LCD cable to the motherboard. If that's not the case then you probably need to take it to a repair place near you.

If you paid for the repair by CC, I would try dispute the charge since they either didn't fix the problem, or caused another.
