Macbook late 2009 13"
It's been over heating more than usual, particularly on the left, in the general area of the S key. Finally I took the back off and and vacuum cleaned it and that seems to have stopped it overheating. Must have been a build up of dust/fluff under that board.
I can't remember exactly the timing but I'm pretty sure it's connected with the overheating: I noticed the screen, along the bottom, started to show a kind of slight rippled shadows effect – right along, all along the bottom. Only small, constrained right to the bottom so not a major problem. Just recently though, all of a sudden and it hasn't changed since, the left half has a dark fading patch, shadow like effect making it hard to see stuff on the left of the screen.
It looks exactly, identical to this:

I guess the overheating has effected something about the screen.
Which part is most likely dodgy/broken do you think? The LCD screen itself? Or something else? I'm worried about getting a replacement LCD screen and it turning out to be something else.
Thanks.
