2 Display freezes, fades to white, inverse, then bleeds to bluish
I have a:
MacBook (13-inch, aluminum, late 2008)
model number: A1278
2GHz IC2D
2GB RAM
160GB HD
running 10.5.8
The display will fade to white (almost a corduroy look) then fades more, so that it looks inverted (like a film negative), then fades more so that there is no display except a blueish screen with small vertical blue, purple and black lines - think norther lights. If I wiggle the display assembly just right I can get the display back and fully functional. Sometimes it will hold seemingly indefinitely and other times it will will be okay for a while then fade again.
I've read about symptoms like this in other threads and forums, but can't remember the cause and can't seem to find them. My memory (which fades too) tells me it's either the data display cable (or connectors) or the inverter. Both of which it seem would be a bit of a pain in the keester to replace with these new displays with class across the front and no bezel.
Also, display works on a second monitor.
any ideas?
lemerise?
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

yes, it's had a liquid spill. I'll check the data display cable connector.

The problem is the Display Cable near the Hinge. Had this problem on one of my HP Laptops. When you wiggle the screen in one direction, the problem occurs. If I wiggle it back, it works.
