The repair was somewhat difficult.the biggest hazard being removing the glass screen without breaking it. I've had the new screen for over a year now and can't tell any difference from the original screen. The screen itself was $110, plus the heat gun and new adhesive to put the glass back on ended up being about $150. Long story short, I followed the ifixit guide to remove the glass, replaced the LCD screen with the one from ebay, it it works fine now. I ended up buying a new LCD screen on ebay (LG LP133WX3 TL A2 A4 MACBOOK PRO 13.3" LED LCD was what it was listed as). I tried switching out the just cable with someone else's cable who had the same computer, but no luck. Hey all.this is the guy who started this post back in May 2010. Any tips would be incredibly appreciated.I'm in the middle of exams, and this is not making studying very easy! Now restarting, jostling, shaking, etc has no effect.Īny ideas? I suppose I'll do a little exploratory surgery today and see if I can re-seat any ribbons/cables that go to the screen.I'm hoping I don't have to replace the whole thing. Oddly enough, for the first few hours it would go away if I restarted the computer, but would reappear if I adjusted the tilt of the screen. Of note, the left edge of the strip starts exactly at the midline of the screen and extends 3.5 cm to the right -> I'm hoping this might indicate it's a loose cable responsible for carrying the signal to that specific real estate of the screen. There wasn't any associated drop or other damage to the computer that preceded this. I have an aluminum 13' MacBook (A1278) which all of a sudden developed a 1.5' wide vertical inverted, flickering, and interlaced strip running uniformly down the screen.
