major tibook screen problem
Oh dear.
I was just surfing the AI forums on my TiBook 667, when my screen developed horizontal white lines. Now it flickers like crazy, stretches the image vertically by a factor of about 2, and the screen is more white lines than it is image. It is virtually illegible.
I've tried all I know how:
*booted in both OS 9 and X
*booted from CD
*pressed the reset button on back
*zapped pram
Luckily I've managed to transfer most of my important files onto this iMac, but I want my beautiful Ti back.
Also luckily, I'm still on Apple warrantee, but I'm not looking forward to having to use it.
Can anyone help? Please.

I kinda just lightly pushed the back of the screen near the hinges, and like magic, the problem's gone, hasn't returned since (a couple of hours). It's as if nothing ever happened.
My question is: what now? The screen's fine, so if I brought it in for repair, there'd be nothing to fix (at least nothing readily wrong), and so I doubt a technician would do anything. But I'm still somewhat scared of a recurring problem that won't be so easily fixable in the future.
Is there something I should do? Maybe just notify Apple so they know this might be an issue with TiBooks?
BTW, all PB's (in USA) go to Texas for repair, no other place is authorized to do repair work on these units.
