    Yes I have read, nevertheless it is hard to understand what is a service contract issue and what is not. In my service, apple sad that my trouble is not the matter, although you know that services always tried had nothing to do with the troubles of free warranties for cash only.

    I have read the issue to someone who won’t apple service repair until contact Apple in the U.S. and service, including LCD replacement is not mentioned in the link below. Apple laptop services sad for us to bring diagnostic him, but we can say in 95% of your difficulty will not issue a free warranty, so they want to charge me $ 50 diagnostic though

    People who informed him that the problem was not the famous ruling of the nVidia graphics card are probably correct. Since the video clearly shows an external monitor to the graphics card should be fine. It seems that your LCD screen may be faulty.

    A further rapid test you can do to make sure this is to take a screenshot. If the screenshot is standard, detached the graphics card. Bad LCD

    I Print Screen and normal desktop image on my pc. So I have a bad connection or bad LCD? It’s likely a cable, where I can observe the trouble itself, is seen by the eye?

    It's not a bad video card as the screenshot is OK. If the video cable were bad or intermittent, the screen would go black or would be on and off. It looks like you need a new LCD.

    but how can the LCD was a distortion of the image as in my case white rose should be, and that the icons were ghosts, who was in CRT monitors, how can the liquid crystals distortion ghost? And how can change color white pink, something trigger it?

    Mac and I opened the LCD screen; open on the table at this time

    I just can display everything that others can see a Maybe help if anyone had the same trouble. The answer is "probably the LCD" I can do myself, no offense, I was thinking someone repair.

    I was wondering if the trouble is with the PCB and elements at the top of the LCD, LCD is the main Cause, in my opinion it unable to display any type of image.
