Dropped Macbook Pro has rows and columns of disorted pixels? (pic included)

Hi everyone!


Today I dropped my MacBook Pro. It slid off a pillow on a couch about 2 feet high. When I open it, there are rows and columns of colored pixels. Is there any way to save it or do I need a repair? The Macbook works fine, I can use it as normal just the display is messed up.


Thanks so much!!

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test

Do you have an external display you can try? If good on the external, then the problem is with the internal display or its connection. Looking at how the corner of the display is bent, there's a good chance that the display itself is the problem. But it's best to have it evaluated at the Apple Store and know for sure.


Good luck!
