Hello!

I would like to request help from you. Has anyone ever encountered such problem, that when your Macbook pro would be a little shaken the colors get messed up the way in the picture below.

The macbook pro is -09 model, but I have another one too which doesn't have this problem.

Here's https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_vQ1bwFgjLgb3pKeGpFU3VrblU
a short video which presents the problem. I would only shake the laptop a bit then the colors get distorted and another shake to make it go normal again. So what could be the problem? I tried Pulling the display data cable connector away from its socket and putting it back but nothing new.

Thanks in advance
 
No possibility for it being an easy fix issue? (And about the shaking, the sad thing is that just raising the laptop creates the distortion)

Looks to be a hardware issue to me, and to answer your other question, no there's no easy fix. :(
 
Since you said it gets solved by moving it, i would check the signal cable if its loose, thats the cheapest and easiest fix. Does it function fine on an external monitor? If it does either the sginal cable is bad or loose. If reconnecting it does not work and it functions fine on an external monitor you would need to replace the display assembly. The display and logic board are the most expensive parts in a macbook.
