Red Vertical line through my Mac Book Pro screen

There is RED line that comes about 10cm from the right of my macbook pro screen.... its a brand new macbook pro . Purchased last four month back .

Hi Ben,
It sounds like you have the same issue I had. Does your issue look like this?

Mine would go away by pushing the screen up and down. However, after a few months of this, the line pretty much stayed there all the time. I finally took mine into an Apple Store last Sunday and they weren't sure what the issue was. They noted that it was either related to the screen or the GPU or maybe even simply a faulty ribbon cable. They didn't do much testing outside of plugging my computer into an external monitor.
My MBP was sent away to a repair facility. They ended up replacing the LCD Panel (according to the work order). You might want to bring it in for someone to take a look at before the problem worsens.

    How can I print from my iPad through my Mac Book Pro which is connected to a printer?  I was told I could do this when the iPad and Mac Book Pro are synched together.

    No.
    Printopia (running on your Mac) connects the iPad to your printer.

  • I sprayed glass cleaner directly on my mac book pro screen. Will the screen be permanently 'spotted'????

    Sprayed glass cleaner directly on my mac book pro screen - will the screen be permanently 'spotted'????

    No chemicals should ever be sprayed on the screen of a Mac - they have coatings that can be damaged.  Only use plain water, on a clean cloth that is only slightly damp and do not wipe over the edges of the glass.
    How much damage was done depends on what kind of cleaner was used and how much was sprayed on.

  • My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it.

    Hi,
    My Mac book pro screen has a constant white mark on it, i have no idea why, its like its inside the screen, its never been dropped or had anything fall on it and the mark is starting to get bigger. Has anyone else had the same problem? i've inserted a pic of it, hopefully you can make it out.
    Thank You

    I see a multitude of white marks on your display.  Your best option is to make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians examine the MBP.  Hardware problems such as this cannot be solved via these forums.

  • If possible can i show todays date on my mac book pro screen?

    if possible can i display todays date on my mac book pro's screen

    I use my Date&Time in the MenuBar to show day-of-the-week and time with AM/PM, and flashing time separator as a check against system hangs.
    If the Calendar application is showing in the Dock, it will display the number of today's date in its Icon. As far as I can tell, you do not need to have EVER run Calendar to have it automatically update its Icon from the default 17 to the current day-number.

  • Why does my mac book pro screen go black when it goes to sleep and then will not light up again unless I unplug the power cord

    When I either leave my mac book pro open, but idle long enough for it to go to sleep or close the top and put it to sleep, the only way to light up the screen again is to diconnect the mag. connect power cord. Any ideas why and/or how to  correct this problem?

    So this is what I got when I took my computer into the apple store to have it diagnosed.
    After the apple technician performced several tests, the only thing that fixed the issue was an SMC reset. Based on this he figures it is probably a software or firmware issue that is going on. He is a little concerend how ever that the fans of the comupter don't reach maximal rpm when the computer is displaying the issue. So he recorded the problem, and told me to just perform the SMC reset as needed for the next couple months and wait for a new update from apple. If the issue persists I am to go back to the apple store and they will take the appropriate steps.
    He said an SMC reset doesn't hurt the computer in any way, so its safe to do. I am gonna contact blizzard and let them know about the issue as well because if it is software, it could be their game (Diablo 3) that is causing the issue as well. If I hear of anything new i will let you know. So get on the blizzard form and let them know of the issue to fix the problem faster.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Red vertical line on left side of iPhone4 screen.

    I have a thin, red vertical line on the left side of my iPhone screen that appears on a black or dark background.  Anyone know what causes this and should I send my phone in for repair?  I've had this phone for about 3 months.  Thanks!

    Hi Brent,
    I took it to apple service center. They did some checks and found out that the display has gone bad and they replced it with new one.
    Did you try connecting other display (may be Apple Display or Dell monitor) using an adapter?  In my case the Apple service center people tried doing it and the display was appearing just fine without any green line. So the fault was in my MBP display.

  • My mac book pro screen is black

    I have a 15 inch mac book pro. I dont know the year or type because i got it as a persent and opened it later. The battery is removable and it is silver. When starting it up it chimes like it normaly would. I just stoped working one day when i got home from school. If i change the volume i can hear the indicator that it is changing. I know you can solve it because other people had the same problem as me. Also the keyboard doesnt work so i use a different one. Can i get this solved without taking it to the apple store. Thanks.

    If the battery is removable, it is pre 2009.
    Try these 2 things, if no joy take to an Apple store for a FREE diagnosis, they will then give you your options.
    SMC reset;
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM reset:
    ote: To print these instructions, open Help Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear), then choose Print.  
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on your Mac.
    Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
