I have the same problem. My MacBook already went in for this same problem, and it appears I have to send it back in again. Oh bother.

I took my MacBookPro to my local service center. They replaced the screen completely and the inverter board. The problem is now completely fixed. Luckily I was still a week within my warranty.

I used to have this problem but mine was a more subtle flicker that became obvious when the brightness was down a bit. I believe ALL macbooks have this same problem, people just keep the brightness all the way up so they don't notice it. Anyways, I think upgrading to Leopard solved it. Apple should replace the software drivers in the earlier versions of OSX. But they won't admit there is a problem so it is unlikely they will address it.

@ waffles -- It's much worse than that. They've actively refused to provide an update on the status page, have neglected to give feedback on these forums, and clearly are unprepared to handle problems. Really. If you need to charge for a service like this to give it enough support, offer it. People would probably pay for something that works.

It looks like a bunch of open-source developers working on something. Just drop IM support entirely and point people to other services which can augment this feature.

Well, almost 2 months now. This is worse than the DMV lines.

So, is there a reason why nothing is happening with this? Seriously, either get it fixed or just say that you won't be offering IM support. Either way, it should be that hard.

Twitter, you've had about 2 months. If a girl left me hanging like this for 2 months I would leave her without a second thought. If a contractor left a job unfinished for 2 months I would start to file a lawsuit.

I mean, you make the lines at the DMV look like the self checkout at Lowe's.

What's the deal? Is this the kind of service that I can expect from anything from y'all? Yes, you're quick at getting the whales to go away. But you've also set a precedent for being extremely slow at something.

Get your act together.
