[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1629188, member: 46727"] A 2006 MacBook has its backlight embedded within the display area and is of the older type fluorescent tube. Very difficult to change out. Apple recommends changing the entire display instead. However, as chas_m recommended, you can try the inverter first, but my personal opinion based on your description tells me it's likely the tube which is defective or failing. You can buy a new display for your 2006 MacBook from several on line vendors. If I remember correctly, the display price varies around $150 to $200 and you provide the labor. [/QUOTE]
