Hello,
Recently I started noticing a pink line on the edge of my macbook pro screen. When I turn it off and leave it for some hours, it disappears, and then after two hours of working, it shows up again. Check the attached image.
What is the reason of that? and if it is related to the heat, how can I solve it?

Two things to try.
1) Take a screenshot of the area and then view the screenshot. Make sure to move the screenshot around to see if the defect is actually captured in the screenshot.
2) Connect an external display.
If you do not see the issue with either of these two tests, then the laptop's Display Assembly needs to be replaced.
Otherwise if you do see it in the moving screenshot or on the external display, then it is most likely a GPU issue or possibly a software issue. Try booting into Safe Mode (screen may flash or flicker due to a very basic video driver being used, but that should not affect the test to see if the video defect still exists. An intermittent issue can be difficult to diagnose. I've seen a few other posts recently with a similar issue.
Hopefully the issue won't get any worse until things get back to normal so that you can have an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider examine the laptop.

Thank you for your help.
I think the screen edge got too hot because I was using some high computing stuffs. Until now the pink line is still in the edge of the screen. and when I take a screenshot, the line disappears. So I guess the only solution is to change the screen, right?
If the line doesn't appear in the screenshot, then the Display Assembly needs replaced to fix the problem. If the issue is only along the bottom edge, then at least you are able to use the laptop.
That looks like some sort of hardware issue which will most likely need to be repaired.
I thought so but the fact that it disappears when the macbook is restarted...
