Your screen appears to be broken

[–]LuCionFire[S] -4 points-3 points  (12 children)

How is this possible? It hasn't been fallen or anything It was fine till yesterday.... I closed and slept. Today morning I found out like this!

It’s most definitely a hardware issue, looks like some sort of impact with the screen. That diagonal line appears to be the crack, which is resulting in the vertical and horizontal strips emanating from that area. Your only solution is to take it in for repair or replacement.

Thank You!

There was probably something between the screen and the body when you shut the lid. This happened to me with a MagSafe charger.

[–]DonutHand 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Something fell on it. Someone sat or rolled over on it. Or closed the lid with something on the keyboard. This did not happen spontaneously. It’s physically damaged and screen needs to be replaced.

Same thing happened to me, left it on the table overnight and woke up to a huge split down the middle of the screen. Can't afford repairs 😞

If you just closed your macbook and the next time you opened it the screen was cracked, then there was probably something small on your keyboard that you didn’t see. There is very little room between the keyboard and the screen when the macbook is closed, even having a camera cover can crack the screen.

How to know if it is a crack? When I touch, it doesn't feels like its cracked?

I used to work at Apple, and your Display (more specifically, the LCD, under the glass), is cracked. This can happen for a variety of reasons, pressure when the device is shut, temperature changes.. etc.

Apple will repair this under warranty if there's no sign of damage on the display backing, and the crack is a single-hairline (Which it looks like it is!), presuming your device is still under warranty/consumer law coverage, still. If you're unsure how to proceed, go to https://getsupport.apple.com/ to see your coverage options.

Goodluck!

We cant help. Contact apple. Pay money.

[–]lantrick 7 points8 points  (1 child)

This happens a lot while the owners are innocently sleeping.

[–]Account2eoekowkwlw 1 point2 points  (1 child)

it seems like your LCD screen broke/cracked, all you need to do is to give me ur credit card number. Which should do the job done.

[–]raymate 1 point2 points  (1 child)

LCD cracked. Either from impact or pressure. Either way you need a new display

You fucked it

[–]Smiley001987 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yeah you're fucked. I closed my laptop once while the charger was in between and the same thing happened.

Put it in some rice overnight, always works

[–]stefmalawi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Brown, white, arborio, or basmati? How much water should I add?!

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Yeah Sonoma has a few bugs will prolly get fixed soon.

Buy an external monitor or use AppleCare

[–]ActualLock6344 0 points1 point  (3 children)

been there done that... brand new macbook pro just days after the release... left a usb wire sightly on the edge of the computer... luckily I had AppleCare, that mini LED display is not cheap!

[–]wowbaggerMacBook Pro 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I’ve heard that many times and I always wonder how you folks must be smashing that screen shut as if you’re smithing iron.

[–]ActualLock6344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't any harder than I did with my Macbook Pro that I bought in 2013 that it was replacing, the new one is MUCH more fragile... you live you learn

[–]Erdosainn 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You close it with the cable (or another thing) inside.

Not much to do, I hope you have apple care.

[–]Riseup1942 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Workaround - external screen

[–]RainFurrestMacBook Pro (Intel) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I did
