[geeks] Problem with my Screen

[Andrew Weiss]

A row of transistors is stuck on in one case green in the other blue.

You would need a replacement LCD...

If you do a mail-in Apple repair it might cost a bit but it'd be less 
than taking it in and getting charged for the LCD which is usually 
$1000 plus.

Apple wants $330 flat to fix my Pismo... I might do it soon, but the 
problem can wait... Mine is a case of not being able to warm boot... 
only cold boot.  If I warm boot I get a flashing question mark... If I 
power off and back on I boot normally.  Sleep is ok too so I think it's 
the motherboard (not the power board) or the hard disk.  What would 
suck is if it is the hard disk and I still get charged for the repair 
and then have to replace the drive anyway.
