Comment: Have an original iMac I bought in 1998. I
telecommute and use my computer
almost exclusively for work. Yesterday,
after about five hours of continuous work,
I noticed that my monitor was beginning
to get darker and darker. have tried to
recalibrate colors and brightness with no
luck. I am afraid my monitor might be
dying. Read somewhere that it may be a
Pram battery problem, but don't know.
Anyone had this problem? Any
suggestions? Any thoughts about
whether monitor is dying or is a Pram
battery -- or other, hopefully fixable --
problem?
Any help or thoughts would be greatly
appreciated. Sincerely,
Afraid of the Dark

Reply: (edit)It could be the PRAM, Power off the iMac and when
starting hold down ( Apple+Alt+R+P) Keep them
depressed until you hear the start up tone 3 times.
This will reset the PRAM. If the Screen is still dim it
may be the cable from the inverter board or a faulty
board. ?
