Yep title says it. I have a "new" Powerbook 140. It seems to be in good shape physically. I turn it on, hear a chime, screen lights up, the end. I hear the hard drive initializing over and over and the lit up screen seems to not respond to adjusting the contrast. Brightness works. I know the drive might be shot or just needs a good erase, but I can't figure out what is wrong with this screen.

I switched the display from my PB145 and I see an arrow in the corner and no little mac in the middle. I don't know what I'm asking help for, maybe just an answer...is the dark display completely broke? and why does the drive initialize over and over? I am new to the original powerbooks, usually play with duos and 1400/3400/5300 series. :?:
