take the battery out and use the power cord instead.
zap the pRam (control+option+P+R hold these keys during start up) let it CHIME (the restart sound) three times….CHIME….CHIME…CHIME and then let go of the keys
put in the hardware diagnostic CD that came with your mac.

I have to force reboot, (control/openapple/pwr)
then start up in “safe mode” by holding down the shift key
right after I hear the chime from the reboot.
After everything comes back on,
I restart once again ………
and everything is fine.
I only have a problem with this dark screen thing
when I plug in the AC plug
when my PB is closed and asleep
and then try to wake it up.
To not get the dark screen problem this is what I do:
First wake up PB while on battery power til I see the screen.
Then I plug in the AC plug.
When I forget to do this, then I have the dark screen problem.

I hate to deliver the bad news, but this sounds like a bad motherboard…don’t kill yourself until you get it checked by a Pro.
