[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1121920, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac Forums. The symptom you describe sounds like it could be a loose connection - either the video cable or the connection from the inverter to the backlight. The machine will have to be disassembled in order to trouble shoot it. If you're traveling you may have to wait until you're back home and can take it in to an authorized Apple repair or Apple store and have them look at it. Is the machine still under warranty? And, have you dropped the machine at any time or subjected it to any rough handling? I mention that because if it was dropped or damaged, Apple will not repair it under the warranty. The repair cost will be on you. [/QUOTE]
