What causes a translucent bar to appear on my MacBook Pro and how can I fix it?

Pics attached. This translucen bar appeared on my screen after my mackbook over heated and shut down. I cleaned the fans and it's running cool again.


I am thinking it's a cable or something? the bar does not appear if i take a screenshot.


what am i looking at price wise to fix it
