   Not normal but not unusual. Judging from the traffic on this newsgroup,
a _lot_ of Macs have failed this way. Also, I don't think there is any
adjustment that can be made that will get rid of the twitching screen.
You just have to wait until it fails completely or else is so bad you
can't stand it any more, then gat another board. I know
from experience; I've had two fail in
the last three years and my third is on the way...
