Macbook Unibody Non-Pro Screen Question

[gt3920]

I have 1.5" vertical lines coming down my screen. It started off with one and sometimes turns into three. They sometimes go away when i mess with the angle of the screen assembly. I don't want to change the lcd/led screen and thats not the problem. Could it be something wrong in the hinge area? A video connector cable? The only safe way of fixing it was to just change the whole assembly but maybe i can narrow it down.

If it varies with the angle of the screen it could be a couple things:

1) Loose connector on either end with the screen's ribbon cable.
2) Damaged ribbon cable.

are those cracks or just smudges on your screen?

LOL I dont think this is computer error, his screen is indeed shattered. Look at his google search on screen, for info on cracked displays, lol. Dude, they wont replace what you dropped for free, that sucks

When I read the thread earlier the pic was not loading...now upon seeing it, that definitely looks like impact damage...the cracks seem to suggest that.

Yes, the outer panel of the lcd is cracked.
When i apply pressure to the bottom corner of the entire lcd assembly, it affects the lines(comes on and off)
So i'm assuming its a loose connection at the end of the ribbon cable.
Anyone knows where to get any replacement parts?

Your assumption may not be quite right. The appearance could very well be due to the crack/impact...but you can buy parts from www.ifixit.com to try the cable first.
