Hi, I have a 2007 Macbook (2.16 Ghz) and for some reason, the LCD has a problem where it'll change to white. When I first open the computer and turn it on, the screen looks perfectly fine but after X amount of minutes, it becomes pixilated and changes to white. When it begins to pixilate, the screen completely freezes.

This can be solved though by moving the screen to a different angle. If I have the computer screen open less than 30 degrees, this problem does not occur and the computer functions like normal.

I'm almost 100% certain that it's the LCD cable but was wondering if an inverter cable could cause such issues as well.

Thanks.
