Boots to grey screen with vertical bars
Boots to only to apple logo then grey screen with vertical bars in grey, white and black. However, it does boot all the way to desktop in Safe mode, still has the bars on right side however. AHT, even the extended one, said "no problems found". External monitor shows the same vertical stripes (however, on the left side of the screen!) I am ready to take out the GE Force 8800 GS and do the fix, if you say this is likely my issue. Can you please advise me on 1) is it my graphics card? and 2) how exactly to do the reflow of solder with the hardware Mayer reference from Ebay ?

How about pasting a few images of the screen and the external display so we can make sure. Adding images to an existing question

Here is what it looks like when I boot in safe mode. The external monitor does not show any icons and has the stripes on the left side..... [image|1399019][image|1399020][image|1399021]
