It was doing this before I went up north for 6 days. When I returned, it booted up and I was able to use it for a day or two and then it went back to this non operational mode.
I have an appointment at the Apple store on Thursday, but I hate driving and hour and a half if it's something I can get fixed around here.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Unfortunately, I think you're gonna be stuck going to the Apple Store to get this looked into and/or repaired.

My Son has a very similar problem with an iMac and it's yet to be corrected. In his case, the screen would just stop working altogether; i.e. go black. Sometimes, it would come back, but eventually it went away, never to return.

He's had it to a couple different repair places and they've not been able to correct this issue. He also lives about an hour and a half from an Apple Store and with 3 kids and a job, it's not easy to get there.

Once you find out something, I'd appreciate a PM, so I can pass the solution [at least for yours] along to my Son.

Good Luck!
