Ok to start I have a 2010 MBP the dreaded 2.6 defective family.
Now what's happening is all of a sudden my screen went black then came back on but now its nothing but thick 1 inch vertical lines of color.
Ran Apple Hardware Test with the system hooked up to a external monitor and it says it detects no issues at all. So any suggestion which direction I should look. It says there is no hardware issue it can detect so I am thinking it could be the video cable or the screen itself.
What nags at the back of my mind though is the fact this is a defective model year and perhaps the defect that had been under free repair for 3 years has shown up again
