I started to see “red static” on the borders and anywhere there’s black on the screen. Doesn’t show up on the Mac OS X boot screen. Pretty sure it’s a hardware issue and not software since it goes away when I close the lid about 3/4 of the way down, but the problem is getting worse every day. I suspect that is the ribbon cable that connects my display to the logic board , any suggestion about how to replace it are welcome!
Try starting up in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key on start up. This will confirm if you have a hardware or software issue if the symptom disappears. If it’s gone, install a good “Paid For” antivirus like Symantec and run it.
A red screen is apple’s version of the blue screen of death.
