So the display on my Macbook started to flicker in pink/reddish every now and then. I hooked up a second display and everything is fine there, even when it’s flickering on the Macbook screen. From my research I guess this could be either the display cable or the inverter board? Or could it also be the logic board? Should I replace the cable first and then move on to the inverter board?`
