I understand this may be a pinched monitor cable .. Often associated with
creaking hinges .. I became aware of that just after my apple plan ran out
.. .. But so far, know on wood, it is still working (one of the first 500mhz
icebooks .. March 2001 ? )  still working like a charm ... But also not
being moved around that much anymore ..

P 

Call apple care .. What do you pay them for :)
