Does Your MacBook have (horizontal) stripes coming from 1 distinct point?
If you see streaks, spots or cracks in the screen of your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air similar to the above example, there has been an impact. The stripes are visible from 1 spot. In this case in the lower right corner, the diagonal crack in the LCD panel can be clearly seen. A common cause is a charging plug or other cable that gets stuck between the MacBook screen and keyboard during the folding process and breaks the LCD screen. Even a MacBook in a bag subject to drop, impact or pressure damage can suffer this kind of damage. Do you have this problem? Then this problem can be fixed with a MacBook screen repair. This can be done at ThePhoneLab (if in stock) in as little as 2 hours.
Does your MacBook have vertical stripes or colored bars?
This is a common problem that can manifest itself in a variety of ways. The above example with purple bars is the most common. This well-known problem is known online as “flexgate. This problem need not have been caused by fall, impact or water damage. The well-known flexgate problem has a different cause: Namely, a display cable in your MacBook that was designed too short. When opening and closing the screen, the display cable rolls up or down. Frequent use can cause cracks in this cable resulting in the above and below problems. This problem is most common on MacBook Pros from 206, 2017 or 2018 but has also been seen frequently on new MacBooks, where Apple did start using a longer cable. Unfortunately, the extended warranty program that Apple created for this problem is no longer active. Is your MacBook less than 2 years old? If so, it can often be fixed by Apple within warranty.
