So basically if you are able and brave enough to crack open the laptop, this is what might help (note that my experience is with the Wallstreet: Take off Keyboard Take off clutch cover (black plastic panel which holds power/volume/brightness keys you should see two copper-colored ribbon cables on opposite side of the logic board that go to the screen. you might want to check and see if they are securely connected. If this doesnt fix it, the problem is either in the ribbon cables themselves (likely where they coil around the clutches) or where the cable connect to the actual LCD panel in the display. hope this helps -Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
