Chosen Solution
I’ve had this computer for over three years now and I’ve never had any issues. For the last week a section of my screen was flickering- if I moved or adjusted the screen it went away. However 2 days ago the lines appeared and they will not go away no matter what I do.
I moved my screen in a way it apparently didn’t want to move today and the lines turned black and white. After pressing on the black section that conects the laptop the coloured lines replaced the white section. This is what my screen currently looks like.
I’m taking it into an Apple Store tomorrow but I’m a poor uni student so Im open to any suggestions any of you may have!!
MacBook suddenly has inverted/flickering vertical strip on the screen references an older model but it sounds like a very similar problem. One solution says to try replacing a cable, but he tried that and it didn’t work, so he ended up replacing the screen. There’s a link to parts in the guide if you do end up using it. Good luck!
I wanted a step to step guide of getting rid of the verticlines on my macbok air
Hi Elise, I have the SAME problem with my MacBook air. Did you by chance ever figure out what to do? Money is so tight right now, and can’t afford a new screen.
Were you guys able to get any answers for this? Apple service guys are asking to directly replace the whole screen and I cannot afford that right now. I am very frustrated with the service.
