Macbook Air Monitor Display

I have a persistent black screen on the right 2.5 inches of the screen. Window underneath it is there but is covered. I have restored and did a deep scan. Nothing comes up.

Is this a monitor issue or am I missing a fix?

Can you post a picture?

Kind of hard to offer suggestions when we don't know exactly what you see.

Also, does the black screen show up when you take a screen shot? Press Cmd+shift+3 on your keyboard to take a screen shot.

Depending on your settings, it may look like nothing happened. Look on the desktop for a ScreenShot file with a date.

If its not on the desktop, press cmnd+shift+5, then click on Options in the control bar that appears and see where its saving the screenshots to.

You can change it to one of the other locations offered there.

Ask the MacBook community? This one’s for Apple displays only.
