Macbook pro screen white

Hi,

I have a Macbook pro 2007 model and after I woke it up after being in sleep for 4 hours the screen didn't work. It was not like it was completely black it was like white/blue with horizontal lines all over the screen. I can plug the laptop into my TV trough the DVI output and I'll get a perfect picture there.
Sometimes the screen shows the picture but is lagging and the white lines keeps coming up. And sometimes the screen starts working after 10 minutes but the screen kinda fades out and comes back or it it might flicker to white in i left corner all the time. And sometimes the picture starts jumping up and down the whole time.

And sometimes the screen stops working completely as soon as I disconnect it from the TV and sometimes it continue to work.

Any idea what is wrong?

Here is a pic when it is at the worst.

Definitely the display.

If you can plug in into your tv no problem, your laptop is still doing fine. Your display, however, seems to have meet its bitter end. You could take it to an apple store and get it replaced, but it is pretty expensive. You might be better off saving the money and just getting a new laptop. You could also buy an external monitor and turn it into a desktop.

But that doesn't explain why the screen starts working when i connect to TV to the computer.

Do you mean to laptop screen works fine once the computer is connected to the TV? Because that hardly makes any sense at all

I know it sound extremely weird but that's my experience so far. When the screen starts working and I disconnect it from the TV it stops working within 2 minutes.

It can't be a software error?

No, I would think there is something really, really weird going on with your video card. I think you should take this one to apple, it makes next to zero sense

Could it have to do with this?

MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues

I replaced the logic board last summer because the video-card died completely and I only got a black screen at startup.

Well done, I believe you just solved your own problem! Although it is strange that the same thing happened twice. You would think NVIDIA would have fixed the problem by now. You should act immediately though, because your three years are almost up.

Going to call Apple first thing on monday. Didn't think it was the same thing since last the the screen got black right away and now it's these weird colors and things. Hopefully it is the same so I don't have to pay for it!

Good, I'll keep my fingers crossed

Just by luck, I stumbled across this link from the apple store. If you haven't already solved your problem, I think this would benefit you:
