My sister has a Garage Band addiction and often asked me if she could use my laptop to play around with it. Since I now have a new MacBook, she asked if she could use my old iBook. I let her.
As she was using it, the screen inevitably turned white. It did this a few times and I told her to try lifting it up and tapping the bottom and moving the screen around. She did and tapping the bottom fixed it. Every single time it went white, tapping the bottom made it go back to normal. I told my brother and he knew what was wrong with it. A chip is out of place and he knows how to fix it. Granted, the way to ‘fix’ it is to open it up, light a match near the logic board, and melt something. Personally, I think setting one’s laptop on fire is a surefire (haha, I made a pun) way to break one’s laptop even more, but he says it should work.
It’s kind of ironic that I figured out what was wrong with my laptop after getting a new MacBook. Not that I’m complaining about the new MacBook. It’s quite awesome.
I even made a graph about my laptop saga and put it on the Graph Jam Website.

Nice haha. So did it work?
I haven’t let him try it yet. I’m a bit reluctant to let him light my laptop on fire, even though I have a new one.
Just tell him to be very, very, very careful.
