Okay,
I dropped my iBook about 1.5 feet onto asphalt (it was in my bag and the bag slipped out of my hand). It still turns on and still works fine, the cd-rom still reads, the keyboard still works, all that jazz. The problem is that the lcd's color is now way off. Everything has a weird ghosting effect to it and a lot of stuff is seethrough. There is also a slight blue tint to everything, most noticable on a white background. I downloaded PixelCheck and I don't see any bad pixels but it's kinda hard to tell when the reds looks black and green looks more like yellow. Do I need a new LCD or a new graphics card or what? It is a 800mhz iBook G3. Thanks in advance for the help!
