okay...I've posted before and have still found nothing on this problem. I have a white MacBook 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM ; Running OSX 10.6.8
The Problem: when I switch desktops using "Spaces" the screen 'sometimes' appears blurry and even graphic lines don't match up. It's not always the whole screen that's blurry either, just certain parts. When I hover the cursor over it, or select the blurry text, it comes to focus. (or try to take a pic of just the blurry area) Recently, I just tried to watch Netflix on it and it was jittery and eventually failed, locking the computer up twice within 15 minutes of the movie starting. I used to play a game called Second Life on here where I seemed to have no problems and I noticed that my (frames per second) was down to sometimes 1 or 2, which is WAY below the 15 minimum I was having prior to this issue.
Solutions Tried: I have re-formatted and re-installed the OS with no changes to the issue which leads me to believe it's a hardware issue. When I called a specialist, he told me the graphics card either works or doesn't....so, maybe it's not "going" as I thought, but could it be the cable leading to the screen, or the screen itself.....and why is it having difficulties playing things it was so easily doing before like Netflix and Youtube videos? How do I test it?
ANY help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I do use this computer for work and it's becoming very frustrating to try and work in Illustrator/Photoshop.
