[QUOTE="theshks, post: 1286007, member: 212418"] Sorry to bump, but my Mid-2009 13" Macbook Pro, year and six months old, no AppleCare, recently started having the same issues as described here. I posted my question on another form and haven't received any feedback... My screen looks identical to the three pictures submitted by meowskers1, and disappears after adjusting the screen position. And like Rippid07, I also had a clear hard-cover case installed on the computer for a few months, but end up taking it off due to the extra weight added. This only started happening the last few weeks, and I want to have it taken care of as soon as possible.
