Binking light on my flat screen
So, The powerbutton light on my flatscreen is constantly blinking. It blinks in a pattern:
short, short, long, pause, repeat
Apple support says I need to call in for support. Is there anything I can do to avoid sitting on hold forever like last time I called?
It just started happening out of nowhere.

The first symptom of a backlight inverter going out is that the power light on your Mac starts blinking. Different types of blinking indicates different issues, but the specific blinking that indicates a backlight issue is two short pulses followed by one long pulse.
