[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1416532, member: 56379"] This can be VERY bad...especially if you're talking about one of the white polycarbonate MacBooks. If the display is "over-opened"...cracks can form in the plastic housing near the hinge area. And each time this happens...the cracks can get larger & larger...and eventually everything will feel loose. If you want to check for cracks (if you have a white-plastic MacBook)...flip the MacBook over (bottomside)...and look carefully around the hinge area for cracks. Sometimes they're hard to see. If you do an open/close action on the display (while looking at the bottom of the MacBook)...if cracks are there...they will "open" up/spread a bit. It is possible that over-opening the display could lead to stress on the cables that go to the display...which could lead to this "screen fading to white" issue. Hopefully this MacBook doesn't have any cracks...but if the display has been over-opened frequently...it probably does (and they will only get bigger if special care from now on is not taken). Good luck,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
