2007 MBP 3,1
2.4GHz
4GB RAM
No problems for 3 years. I just got a new iMac, so I got this MBP cleaned up to sell. I wiped the disk, reinstalled 10.6 and all updates, everything worked totally fine for a few days.
I put it in the drawer.
2 weeks pass, I have an interested buyer, I pull it out to get it charged up, and the screen is now flickering like CRAZY.
I've rebooted a bunch, reset PRAM, etc.
Doesn't look like a backlight issue (you can see the menu bar moving around when it flickers). Broken graphics card? Ideas?
