Heh. It hasn't been intermittent. It just went dark and hasn't lit up since. I tried a few things including bonking, thumping, whacking, and stern gazes. Even drained power and restored BIOS defaults with an external screen attached. Not very portable. The rest of the time staring at a flashlight illuminated screen just isn't getting it. Mr FedX will do the honors tonight.
Time to hit the Mac store. I doubt I'll buy one yet but while the cat's away ya'know.
