The above is the screenshot of how the display looks now. I have tried updating the OS, restart but nothing works. This isMac Book Air 2017 13 inch purchased 2 years back and I haven't spilled any liquid or anything. Can someone please look into it?

No, I'm afraid I don't see what you described. In any event, what, if anything, have you tried to fix it? Have you tried booting into safe mode (How to use safe mode on your Mac) to see if the screen is still abnormal? Have you tried creating and logging into a new admin account? Have you tried doing an Erase and Install? Have you tried running the Apple Hardware Test?


I suggest you give these a try to determine whether this is a software or hardware problem. If the latter, then you will need to have the machine diagnosed at you local Apple repair shop. You may have to replace the display or motherboard.


Sorry, but I don't have better news than this.

Do you see the top right portion? Part of the section is white and the other is purple, blue, green vertical lines. It's blocking the icons for wifi,date/time, bluetooth.I can't open multiple tabs because they all get hidden. If I open any browser or application I can see only part of it. Let me know if you need a better image.
