Any damage to the LCD unit won't show up in Grab, because Grab takes the picture data directly from the framebuffer (an area in memory that contains the image being written to the screen). There's almost no hope for your screen; it would be best to get it repaired as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Ben

I broke the right side of my 3-month-old iBook yesterday (don't ask how...) and was sending an email describing what it looks like to a pal (takes me back to the days of my old 512: I have basically an 10 x 10 monitor plus garbage to the right ... Just for the hell of it, I used Grab to send him a screenshot, and just for the hell of it, I opened the file before sending it: believe it or not, the screen looked just as it did before the accident. Does that mean there's any cause for faint hope that it might be saved (or to I have to take a shot with Grab every 10 seconds from now on......)????????
