Inverter boards are cheap, ~$25-40 bucks on fleabay or one of the used Mac sales sites that also sell parts.
1/2 hour to swap out.
Have done a few, common problem on the last gen PPC laptops.
I have one acting as a media server in my downstairs entertainment room. Inverter is bad but does not matter since it's hooked to a 67 in TV screen.

It's a desktop, not a laptop. It's runs two monitors via the DVI connections. Both monitors go dark or freeze when the computer decides to "sleep" or freeze.
Is this easily fixable for a now $250 computer? The retail on this was $3000 back then (2nd owner).
