Here is my issue, my captivate was hard bricked and I was able to perform the unbrickable mod on my phone successfully. It worked the first time with no issues. I flashed a fresh ROM to my phone and all was well, it played all of the games that it always did, the screen looked just as good as it did when it was new. Then one day while playing a game, the screen changed and now it looks like it is in negative mode...(yellow is orange, white is almost purple) kind of like the colors are all reversed. Plus when even attempting to play a game it is a slow crawl. Is there anything I can try or has anyone else seen this issue? I have already used Odin and went back to 2.1 stock and did a master clear, but the issue still exists.

Can anyone help?

Yeah this is my original captivate that I bought in August of 2010...so it is way far out of warranty. I will do some searching to see how much a main board would cost me. If its more than $50, I will just sell it for parts. Thanks for the help though!

You might still wanna contact ATT/Samsung for a replacement. I remember that I was able to replace my old Samsung Impression (touchwiz, no android) even though it was way out of warranty (like 6 months out). ATT may not replace it, so definitely call Samsung...
