That appears more like a hardware issue with the built-in Display. Try connecting an external display and enable mirroring. If the black bar only appears on the built-in Display, then you have confirmed the diagnosis and will need to have Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider examine the laptop to provide you with a repair estimate.
