Hey all! I got a Ibook g3 12". The backlight works fine when the computer just booted and you don't touch the LCD. The second the computer moves even the slightest bit the backlight cuts out and won't come on till you reboot. Need help ASAP. Thanks!

@e_ah could be an issue with the inverter cable as well as the inverter itself. Time to take it apart and check things out, in particular the inverter wiring. Those could be loose or have a shaved off insulation which may shorten it out. Use these guides iBook G3 12" for that and let us know what you find.

@oldturkey03 old Turkey sounds about right although may I provide you with an additional question ..? Do you have a pet or a tight laptop bag. Either of these things can damage the inverter on the screen and require a screen replacement. Cats walking on the top or pressure from too much stuff in your laptop bag can cause this inverter damage.... Just a thought...
I am not the original owner of this laptop. I found it in a ewaste bin at my friends office. I would assume not as it was a Camera Server.

Can you still discern the desktop when it goes out?

Yes I can if there is a bright light shining at it.

That narrows it down to an inverter issues as @oldturkey03 recommended, so he's correct.
