MacBook Air 2015 (13 inch) display issues

I’ve been using my MacBook Air 2015 (13 inch) with no issues today and then all of a sudden while using it the screen turned black with vertical lines. I quickly turned off the computer and turned it back on and the issues still persists. I haven’t dropped my laptop or done anything to make it damaged.

Macbook Pro screen not working My macbook screen first had colorful lines through the side. A couple days later the screen would not turn on at all. there is now one line through the black screen. There is a problem with the display because it is still charging and makes the power on sound after i tried restarting it. Is there any way to fix this?

Macbook horizontal lines and flickering screen My 2017 MacBook is in need of a replacement battery. In the meantime, the display now has horizontal lines and is flickering between the lines and normal. When the horizontal lines are present and I am on the start page with the app icons, it also has vertical lines. It seems to be 3 secs of bad view, 3 secs of normal, with regular flickering like this. It does this whether it is plugged in or not, so does not seem to be a power issue. I have restarted the computer and that does not help. I have also tried to reset the graphics card by pressing option+command+P+R for 20 seconds after restart. I am traveling in Indonesia. The non apple shop technician said I likely need a new display. But since I haven't dropped it and it seems to be very expensive, I am looking to try troubleshooting it myself. Does anyone have advice on additional things I can try? Is it possible that the bad battery is causing the problem?

Hi there!

Regrettably, this is a hardware issue, and because your Mac is vintage, Apple may not be apple to repair it. However, you can contact Apple and ask: Mac Repair & Service - Apple Support.

I'd recommend you also explore a new Mac: Apple Store Online - Apple.
