Hey,
About a week ago I was using my Macbook just fine and then i closed the lid like normal after finishing. I went back to it 30 minutes later, opened it and the screen was dark but could still see the desktop (as if the brightness setting was on 0). I fiddled with it for a bit and found that if I put the brightness down to 0 then back up, the screen would come on for a few seconds and then go off. I left it for a day, tried again and the same. I then put a bit of pressure on the bottom right corner, as if pushing the screen towards the keyboard, put the brightness down and then up and the screen worked again. I could move the laptop, screen etc and it stayed on. I then closed it, opened it and back to square one.
It works very randomly. I'm using it now but it might well go off in the next 5 minutes. Also, the volume wasn't working until i shut the computer down, started it again and held D down. It worked first time then.
My question is, does this sound like an inverter cable problem, or will it be the inverter board? I was told it might be the tubes in the screen which would require i new screen but as i've been using it now for 15 minutes like normal, i dont think it is that.
Sorry for the long description but i like to be detailed.
Any help would be much apprecaited.
