[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1121654, member: 46727"] The screenshot is OK which means that the GPU is alright and it's not a software problem. That's actually a good sign since replacing a defective GPU means a logic board swap out. Very expensive repair. $$ The LCD shows signs of "blooming" and out of focus in the photo you submitted. That indicates it's beginning to fail and probably needs to be replaced. Replacing the LCD on any Mac notebook computer is a fairly difficult task. If you think that you can do the work yourself, go to [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The free repair manual[/url] with the model number of the machine on hand and look up the cost for a replacement LCD. And while you're there, look up the step by step replacement procedure for doing the work. My advice is unless you're absolutely certain you can do the work yourself, take it to an authorized Apple repair reseller or to an Apple store and let them do the repair. Get an estimate of the cost first and then decide. [/QUOTE]
