Macbook pro screen issue

[jhammon]

Hello everybody!

I got a Macbook pro from my brother, it was acting weird so he bought a new one and passed this one down thinking i may be able to fix it.

I've already killed over an hour googling and searching these forums for a similar problem though, and am having trouble. Part of the problem is that i don't really know how to describe the issue - it looks like the screen is blurred after being turned on. I can move the house, but can't really make anything out.

The uploaded pictures are the same, the only difference is the grey blip that moves from left to right - that is the mouse.

Does anybody have any ideas about what is wrong here?? Or what hardware would need to be repaired, or what i need to do to diagnose the issue? Or what this problem is even called?

I'm going to keep looking around the forums, but i've had horrible luck so far

Check with Apple. Some MacBook Pros have a known screen issue and qualify for a free replacement screen.

Oops! More accurately a screen related hardware issue not the screen itself

I did check with apple, initially i was going to see how much it costs to have it repaired professonally and and wass lead in that direction. I decided though that if i can't diagnose/fix it myself, i will just sell it as-is.
