Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

This could be a number of issues that, typically relate to failing hardware. In this case it could be the display itself, the video cable between the logic board, the GPU or something else on that logic board.


If you are not able to get to a "normal" screen image, even after restarting your notebook, I suggest that you try the following before paying a visit to your local Apple Store Genius Bar, and that is, resetting the notebook's SMC.
