Hello,
First off thank you for taking your time and reading my post and any comments would be greatly appreciated.
I have a late 2008 Macbook unibody. The last couple years I have started have issues with it. The big issue is that the screen is a bit wobbly and then I lose my picture on my screen. I get like pixelated lines across the screen and just a bunch of lines across the screen. When this happens it doesn't let me move the on screen arrow. To combat this issue I have to hold the screen and apply pressure by pushing on the back with my hand and using my thumb to pinch the corner.
I just finished school, so I'm young and have a basic understanding of technology and computers. However, I do not know about computers in depth or specifically about Macbooks.
I'm thinking about buying a cheap tool kit with the correct tools to open the Macbook on Amazon. I was planning on tightening the screws and make sure the screen has a good connection. However, that is as far as I know what to do. I don't know if I would have to replace anything...
Please help. I'm starting a job at a school and may think about buying a new Macbook (but money is tight with loans), but would still like to use the one I currently have also. Not sure if I should try waiting a month or two and just spend the money since my computer burns hot and fan is mostly always on and the battery is also shot (but don't want to spend the money for a new one at this time).
Thank you for your time
