Macbook is very bright and everything is delayed.

My dad decided to clean my computer and when it got back to me it seemed to have broke in some way. He said he had used glass cleaner to clean the screen. First off, the computer started to flash green, red, blue, and black. There was some sort of visible stain from inside the computer. Every time I would use it for more than 5 minutes it would start flashing the colors.


My current main issue right now is the screen. All the other ‘symptoms’ are gone at this time. The screen one day suddenly turned very bright and hard to read and everything I move on the screen is delayed and left with many copies of the item I’m moving. It’s incredibly hard to explain, so that’s why I am leaving a video for example. I’ve tried to search up my issue and how to solve it but since it’s so hard to summarize I can’t seem to find a way to put it exactly. Does anybody have any way to fix this?


Thank you for your time on reading this, it is very much appreciated since this computer is a huge necessity for school work and etc. 🙏


In the photo you can see how my mouse is blurred and everything is delayed.

Never ever use glass cleaner on the screen, the screen has a special coating to protect it and glass cleaner will remove this, also it is possible the glass cleaner has seeped into your mac and affected the electronics, this may improve in a few days as it dries out. It should only be cleaned with a dry microfibre cloth, if there are stubborn marks on it only use a soft very, very, slightly damp cloth. The image you show looks like your dad has been pressing too hard on the screen.


Why was your dad cleaning your mac, are you not capable of cleaning things yourself.

If after a few days it has not improved you may need to sit your father down in front of your mac

login to the Apple Online Store and get him to buy you a new Mac.

Thanks for the reply! My dad took my macbook without my knowing and decided it would be a terrific idea to clean it with supplies obviously not fit for macbook screens, as they are clearly not made of glass. My dad had done the same thing to one of my siblings computers before and the exact same thing happened with theirs. I am too bewildered and the stupidity. But hers fixed itself within a few hours, but mine has been left out to dry for a little over a week. And yes, I will take your advice and try to get him to buy a new one. Thanks for the laughs!
