Another possible graphics card problem with the SR MBP (summer 2007) model

[hajime]

Hello... As some of you may recall, I bought the 17" SR MBP in the summer of 2007. About five months ago, nothing showed up on my screen even I rebooted. Connecting to an external monitor did not help. Apple replaced a new motherboard for me because of the infamous Nvidia graphics chip. Things worked fine most of the time except that the screen suddenly turned gray/blue three times. (It is hard to explain. Let's say it is like somebody suddenly put a sunglass with gray/blue coating on you while you are watching the screen. It gives you a feeling of horror. I actually felt vampire were approaching me from behind!) However, the computer returned to normal in less than a minute each time this happened. About 15 minutes ago, this happens again and the screen still has not returned to normal yet. Anybody has similar problem?

If you can reproduce it I'd take it back to an Apple store ASAP.
