transparent gray lines appearing on macbook air screen.

there are gray horizontal lines that go across the screen. I can see the screen with no difficulty but it is very annoying for me. I think it happened after something made a small chip on the black plastic bar that connects the screen to the keyboard. Any solutions?

Black vertical lines covering part of screen and also lines going across bottom of MacBook Air2020 I opened my MacBook Air 2020 one day to a bunch of black and some other coloured vertical lines running across the right side of my screen. There are also lines at the bottom of the screen, that flicker every time I use Google Chrome. How do I fix this problem and is it serious?

Faint horizontal gray lines on macbook air screen Faint horizontal gray lines appeared out of nowhere on my screen. There's nothing I can think of that could've caused this issue (I have never dropped my MacBook, I'm certain it never overheats, and I have not installed anything not supported by Apple). I haven't encountered performance issues along with the lines, it's just very annoying and distracting to see everything covered in them. I've found some other posts (2, 3, 4) of people with similar issues and it seems to be a random issue on some MacBooks (I'm certain there are more people with this kind of problem). It's really frustrating given the price you have to pay for one of these. I don't know how much fixing it could cost me. Has anybody else encountered this problem and has been able to fix it? If so, how?

This is an hardware error but you can still use the Mac. If it really annoys you you can Contact - Official Apple Support to set up hardware service
