I'm pretty new to this so I'm hoping someone is willing to write up the steps on how to fix my issues with my Dell 6400 laptop. I've searched and searched and my head is starting to spin. I have 10.6.5 installed and most things are working, but I'm having issues with video. I have the GMA945 video and I can see using an external display, but not with the internal LCD screen... I see the apple at boot up, but when the desktop is about to come up, it goes black and stays black. Does anyone out there know a fix for this and are you willing to type it out step by step?
