When I start up my MacBook, I can see just a hint of dark spots in the screen when on the Apple logo. When the desktop appears though, I can't see those dark spots. My display doesn't flicker, produces good color and picture. Is there anything wrong?
@Dell0304 - Those are probably just pressure damage spots. They are more visible on a solid color background. When you get some picture or pattern on the screen our eyes can't differentiate the darker spots. There's nothing you can really do besides replace the LCD panel. If it doesn't bother you too much, just leave it alone. It won't get any worse unless the screen gets a lot of pressure applied somewhere. (even from the back side)
I have the same macbook and the backlight sometimes goes out when the laptop is moved or the screen is tilted. When this happens i can get the screen to work again by playing with the brightness up/down buttons on the keyboard, but it only works for a couple seconds. is this a backlight inverter issue as well?
Thanks

You should have mentioned that we should clean out any dust in the computer with compressed air. Great video!

Is it just me, or does it seem like Apple loves to make their stuff harder to work on than other companies?
