getting scared?!?!?!?!

[iBert]

Hey all! Today after my class, my Powerbook has started to do something weird. Every couple of seconds it looks like the screen is flickering.

Should I start panicking now? 😕 should I even bother calling Apple about this?
Thought of asking here first, see if anyone has had this happen to them.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Doesn't sound good! If you are lucky it could be a nearby cellphone ringing, or worse the screencable could be a bit worn..

yes, call Apple, that should not be happening and isn't a good sign in my book.

Contact apple now!

Or just take it into a store

DUM DUM DUM

Sounds like bad cables. Take it to an Apple Store and have them change it for you.

my roomie fixes those all the time and resells them on E-bay. Common laptop problem... it's the ribbon.

yeah get some kind of apple tech to see it, it might be a loose connection to the screen cable rather than a worn cable if its new(ish)

Again, thank you all for the help. I will see what happens tomorrow, should anything look weird again. will defenetly call Apple. Thank God it still has the one year left until january 2005 plus the ACP.
