I posted a few days ago about my 2008 MacBook (unibody) that suddenly had an issue with the screen. Initially, the screen had an inverted 1.5" (or so) strip vertical on the screen (if it was a white screen with black text, that strip showed a black screen with white text). Now it has moved into being a solid black strip. I took it in to my local Apple Store/Repair Center and was told by the Tech that it was a logic board failure and that repairs would likely come close to the cost of a new computer, which he was very interested in selling me. Now, for some reason, I just don't believe him. If I put my hands on both sides of the screen and flex it I can get the line to disappear and the screen returns to normal. The only problem is that as soon as I let go, it goes back to black. I feel like if this really was a logic board issue, twisting the display wouldn't do anything. I don't really feel like forking out the $900 for repairs I was quoted, and will probably buy a new laptop in that case. But I'm still holding out a little hope that someone here has an idea of something else it might be... help please!!
