Hi,
As the title says.. sometimes won't boot. I have managed to get it to boot sometimes by holding function key and "power".. Then I got it too boot just now by running LCD BIST.. but the display is unstable.. whenever I touch the screen the display drops out and comes back etc. Where the screen is attached to the computer it feels a bit loose on the right side.. Is it time to get a new screen or tighten the screen somehow?
Thanks
