Powerbook screen problem
Anyone want to help me diagnose a computer problem?
The screen on my Apple Powerbook (15″, Aluminum) has recently started to flicker or scramble intermittently. Sometimes the flickering is preceded by patterned pixel discoloration — an odd “highlighting” of images with purple or green dots. Sometimes the flickering signals an imminent screen crash (although the computer stays up and running). All I can do when this happens is to put the laptop to sleep and put it aside for a few hours; then it may (or may not) wake up normal.
It looks like this…

I have feelers out in the Apple Support forum for Powerbook displays, but any other thoughts are appreciated.

Mine has the exact same issue. My Apple Protection Program just expired too! :-S I took it to a local authorized Apple repair shop since there is no Apple Store under 200 miles from here and they wanted $560 to repair! I’m contemplating making the the 200 mile drive to get it repaired under the famous flat-rate repair fee. If you come up with a solution before then, please email me!
