Two weeks being left on the warranty on this 14" ibook, I am (and have been) experiencing display problems on different occasions. Sometimes I open it up from "sleep" and the LCD moniter has a "cartoonish" look to it, the blacks having a green color instead, the arrow(pointer)... instead of black is green, purples where they should not be, and no crisp clean lines anywhere. Is this a common problem that Apple is repairing upon request? Usually multiple restarts cure the problem, but I fear that one of these days it will be something I can't "fix" on my own. It has happened about 6-7 times over that past year. Thanks for reading this. Your input is appreciated.

That sounds like a logic board issue to me...

I would get Apple Care before the warranty runs out.

Its sounds like either a logic board or a messed up display cable to me.
