Hi All,

My display has just recently started to be very fuzzy and move sideways very very minimally - But enough to be noticeable

I took it to Apple who said I would have to pay for a complete estimate but he suspects its the logic board.

Has anyone heard of this think before? The display shakes a tiny bit but its very annoying on the eyes.

I just had a 2GB memory upgrade (about a month ago) so I m really upset!

Any ideas?

First thing... try the old ram.. see if it happens with it in. Apple's going to do that anyways and if it's 3rd party ram theres a high liekely hood that they'll blame the ram. Barring the ram... any reason to doubt the genius? I mean the video IS on the logic board.
Backups are like guns and condoms. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Check Video connector. Whoever upgraded ram may have broken the connector.
Which computer is it? Powerbook, iBook, MacBook, MacBook Pro?

Shouldn't the Genius have caught that?

Hence why Apple Genius is not really Geniuses, glorified lab rats.

Many many people here are more knowledgeable than any of the Geniuses at any Apple store.

Side note it's really good that you where able to fix the problem.

I could actually see myself thinking something was wrong. Zoom on its first setting looks fuzzy and wierd. It would be funny to take it in again with zoom on and see if he would have sent it in for repair or done a more in depth look.
