Thanks to you all for you advice. When I plug in an external monitor to the laptop, the external monitor is fine and the lcd screen is negative. When I go to the universal setting and flip it to “black on white” in inverts them both, so my feeling is that it’s a screen problem rather than a graphics card. When the lcd screen is inverted the contrast and images are still pretty funky, and I’m not able to use that for packages in a live cable show, so I’ll stick with the external flat screen for now.

I was the last person to use the laptop at Road America two weeks ago, so no one would have been able to change the settings… guess it’s off to Apple Care once we get back from our job next week.

Thanks again for your thoughts…
