MACINTOSH X

500 MHz Powerpc G3

192 MB SDRAM

This freaking screen keeps flashing blue, not the "blue error message" blue, but as in the pixel RGB blue, and it's driving me nuts, there is a lot of screen play and the bars sometimes go all the way across the screen, or the whole screen will appear through a blue tint. I read somewhere that resetting the PRAM might help,
but
should i do that, and will it erase anything if i do? please respond quickly this is driving me more crazy than the normal Kystal crazy @_@

Try this. I've had experience with Macs

Restart hold down Apple+S if it brings you to a command prompt, type this:

/sbin/fsck -yf

This command will run a file system check and repair any problems.

2. Restart Hold Down Apple+AltOption+P+R to reset the Pram

3. Restart Hold Down Apple+AltOption+O+F
when command prompt shows up on screen type:
reset-nvram (then press enter)
set-defaults (Then Press Enter)
reset-all (computer will reboot)

I'm not sure if it works for older versions, but it works for Leopard.
Btw, that's a pretty old Mac. You should probably buy the new Leopard/Snow Leopard OS, or just buy a new Mac.

Mini Bsod's are my guess
Bsod= Blue screen of Death
you can easily get rid of them by Defraging your computer even if its a mac and then restarting your pc

MMM thanks you guys <3 but my mom won't let me do anything to the comp cuz i'm "not a professional"

But on the other hand, we miight know that my dad fked up the screen by iteslf cuz this is a refurb ntm he would set a radio on top of the laptop and leave it there for hours and the magnets are strong . . . *sigh* it still works!

Anyways, thanks

well it couldnt have been a blue screen of death because macs dont get those, its microsoft, all macs would do is shut of with no warning.

So yeah its just pure monitor problems. Replace and u will be fine.

Whew thanks you guys again for the help and WOOT another texan let's rule the world man/girl .

But guess what? my screen isn't doing it anymore. You know why?

My mother's genius place of storing the bloody laptop was on top of a record player. It was screwing up the screen somehow. now that i've set it in a new place, the screen is acting normal, and no problems with hardware or anything. YAYA!
