How do i get rid of the purple line down the middle of my macbook pro screen?

I was cleaning my screen, when a thin purple line appeared down the middle of my screen, along with a thin black flashing line at the top of the screen. Is there anything I can do to fix this or does the screen need to be replaced?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

macOS Ventura flickering screen I updated my Macbook Air M1 to Ventura on Monday 24 Oct. Within a few hours my screen started to flicker. I rebuild the machine using a USB drive (Create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support) After a few hours it started again. I notice this happens when I am using IntelliJ Idea Ultimate. Has anyone else encounter this issue? Perhaps when doing something that will use up a lot resources? I don't mind going back to Monterey I just hate the long process of rebuilding/setting up a machine.

Mac won't let me click on parts of my screen Hi! My Macbook Pro 16" 2019 is having a very weird issue. I cannot click a certain are of the screen, around the higher portion of my screen in the center a bit to the right. My mouse pointer can go on this specific portion without a problem, but it cannot do a left click or right click. I've tried with my mouse, with my trackpad, I've tried doing it on the desktop or in different apps, I've tried restarting my computer, I've tried updating the software but there is still nothing that works yet.

Just got the 27" studio display. Terrible flicker I just purchased the 27" studio display to connect to my 2021 MacBook Pro. I started editing an image in Photoshop and terrible flickering. Sometimes a dark grey band goes across the image. The flickering is happening every few seconds. thank you for any help

Hello Brown_4,

It sounds like your Mac display has some lines down the middle of the display. Check out this link for support when the display doesn't look right.

If your Mac display doesn’t look right

Otherwise you way want to contact Apple Support for next steps.
