Hi guys!
I'm new to this forum and sensed that maybe someone could give me an advice about my damaged LCD screen of my old iBook.
A few days ago I opened my iBook and the screen suddenly couldn't portrait any white color properly. Everything was flickering and moving. Darker areas have a green flickering as well. I'm not a absolute tech expert, but I tried already a few things. I hooked it up to an external monitor and the picture was fine! So it must be hardware related right?
Now the weird thing. Sometimes the panel suddenly works properly for a few hours. I don't know what could trigger it, I tried everything. What should I do? I took some pictures and uploaded them to Flickr:

I know the machine is old, but I originally planned to get a new MBP this summer. I can't afford a new machine right now and the current MBP are just overpriced compared to similar old products on the market.
I have to be mobile, so I need a laptop.
Any tips how I could solve this problem or what I could try to fix the screen?
Your help would be greatly appreciated!!
