Hi all. Have had my powerbook for about 2 years now. I got home started up my laptop and everything was fine when all of a sudden I just see huge graininess, pixels, and trails all over my screen. To the point where I can't even see whats on the screen anymore. Any idea what' s going on? I haven't change the RAM nor have I dropped my powerbook.

Is my powerbook just dying??

If moving the screen doesn't affect it, that sounds like a graphics chip problem and that means a new logic board if there is something wrong with the GPU or its VRAM.
