I have a Macbook (purchased in early 2007) and as of this morning, after it had been closed all night, the backlight seems to have given up. The screen is faint and impossible to read.
I have restarted twice and nothing has improved; I have searched for similar experiences but I'm having trouble finding the solution. Most experiences I've read through so far say the backlight works instantly upon rebooting, then dies. Mine is just dead for the whole process :Angry-Tongue:
Hopefully I'm posting this in the right forum!

It could be the Inverter board for the backlight. Do you have any Apple Care left at all?
