[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1675260, member: 46727"] That's a very old machine which may not be worth spending much money on. The black outs may be due to a bad video cable (LVDS) or could even be an intermittent backlight problem. If it's the cable, that can be replaced for around $40, but if it's the backlight, you won't know if it's the inverter or the tube itself that's bad. Do some more internet digging and you'll get an idea of repair and cost. Go to [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The Free Repair Manual[/url]. [/QUOTE]
