Hi everyone. I hope you all had a nice ThanksGiving. I am hoping that everyone can help me again. Anytime I have a problem that I can't solve, someone here always gives me the help in need!

I just purchased an 800mhz 14.1 IBook. I doubled the memory (Apple installed) and installed a airport card ( I installed). The IBook had been working fine since I got it (10 days ago).

All of a sudden, the video started flashing and going nuts. I went to run Tech Tool on it and I couldn't move the mouse. Just the video was flashing, shutting off, and had lines running all over it.

I shut it off and booted up off of the Hardware Test CD that came with the IBook. I then ran a quick test and all of the items passed. Actually, the flashing video problem then went away. I then rebooted and started working.

I would say 10 minutes went by and then it started going nuts again. I did the same procedure that I did prior, but no good. I then took the SODIMM out and booted again to see if I had a bad memory module. No Good.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the help!!!

Sorry to say, this sounds like what happened to a friend of mine's ibook 500 shortly after she got it...turned out to be the display itself, but she had it replaced under warranty. Do you live close enough to any Apple store to take it there...otherwise, since you are under warranty, if you call Apple, you should get it repaired with no problem.
