I have a macbook late 2007 edition with upgraded hardware, still runs well for it's age. The other morning however, we opened the computer the screen lit up and then faded out. Looked like the computer wouldn't power up. Every time we open the computer the same thing happens; Lights up then fades out. I noticed that if you put the screen all the way back and the light hits just right I could view the screen, move the cursor around, type, open programs (fully functional but without the back light). To me it sounds like the screen needs to be replaced as I think it is the back light that is shot. What is confusing me is that when we open the computer it does light up but then very quickly fades out. Shouldn't the back light either work or not work? Is it normal for it to fade out like that if the back light is shot?
Thanks for your help!
