Well the verdict from the Genious Bar is the logic board is going. Estimated repair, Apple - $500, outside contractor $350 +. Either way we've decided not to repair it and just chalk the whole experience up to 'S--- Happens'.
Thanks for all the suggestions, it helps to have a group of knowledgeable people to ask when something goes wrong. Dave I'll contact you off list .

If it still has the problem I will take you up on the offer. I will pay shipping of course. Part of our problem is we live an hour drive apart, so I only see her on weekends and not every weekend. I've borrowed a monitor from our IT guys here at work and will test it out this weekend. Thanks to all for the tips and suggestions, I'll let you all know what the outcome is.
