Hi guys-

So recently my Macbook has developed black spots and lines all over the screen. I have never dropped it, but I bought it in 2007, so I know it's not the newest computer around. I really don't have the money to get it fixed by apple, nor do I have money to buy a new laptop. I linked a picture of what it looks like. Just wondering if by looking at it anyone can see what might be the problem? Someone told me it might be the graphics card, and someone else said the screen itself might be the problem? Any ideas? And is it worth it to fix??

The test is to plug it into an external monitor,TV or data projector, you may have a dongle somewhere.

If it is the screen (and I think it is) some independent Apple Service Centres, have a collection of older computers, they can cannibalise for parts. Ask for this.

But it's marginal on cost, get a quote.
