[QUOTE="sleepy_monkey, post: 413481, member: 22418"] So my ibook G4 has been working great. Well yesterday I got home, took it out of my case and turned it on. My screen was shaky and static was on it...when I moved the screen back and forth it would make it better or make it worse. Well, now the screen is flickering with every color you can imagine. I have the mini VGA port and the computer is still working, I just have to connect it to an external monitor. The Apple peeps at the local store said it would cost about $400 to send it to Apple and they would fix everything wrong with it. Is there another fix for this? Is that worth it? I paid $650 for it used about 9 months ago so I am wondering if I should just buy a new Macbook Pro, which is a lot more or if I should get this fixed. :[ [/QUOTE]
