[P1] Strange iBook Problem

[Collin Moore]

I was just watching the screen savers the other day and they had a call that
the person had the same prob with a pc..they said that it could be the
connector or the backlight (flourecent type tube) in the back of the
screen.my 13 yr old advice........send the ibook in and have them check it
out..if it is still covered by the warranty then DO IT
