My friend's macbook air m1 2020 screen has lines that have progressively gotten worse while using

He dropped it a few hours ago but there was no physical damage to the outside. It started having faint lines on the screen that weren't annoying but as he used it (for maybe 2-3 hours) it got worse. Right now they are very clear and he has shut down his mac for now to cool it off. Any solutions?

About a Mac Screen with Lines:

A. Your Screen is Failing:

I have come across this on my 2017 MacThe connector between the LogicBoard and the screen was loose, and I had to send it in for service 11 times. Being during COVID, I had to send this in. Today, the option to take this in for service is an option. So take this in for service, ASAP.


B. To Get this Mac Serviced...

Contact Apple, and setup a Genius Bar Appointment or see an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your local area.


A. Contact Apple:

  • Contact Us - Choose Locations
  • Proceed from there as Necessary
  • NOTE: Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, calls are taking a bit linger to get through. And, that makes sense, because many are at home working out-of-the-house or are taking classes over-the-web, this they have more time on their hands to contact Apple Support. So, it might take a bit to get through to Apple Support. But, just stay on the line, and someone will be with you.
