HELP!!!!!!!

I don't think this is one of those things you can fix easily. It could be that the GPU is faulty, and you need to have it replaced.

Could also be that it's overheating. In which case I would download and install smcFanControl and crank up the fan speeds and see if that helps any.

If not then your only choice would be to go to the apple store and have them look at it. T_T"

really... Man that scares me...Do MBP usually have fan issues...and where can i DL: SMCFanControl is it a free app

Google is your friend. App found here.

It's not really a fan problem. It just might be that your components are getting too hot because there isn't enough air flow.

My guess is this: MacBook Pro: Distorted video or no video issues

more display problems

my display screen tends to shake with lots of lines starting from the top of the screen and slowly move down horizontally. when i move the screen towards the keyboard or away, this tends to go away and does not come back until i shut the screen to pack my laptop. the same thing happens when i start the laptop again. i have a skin put on the mac book pro. is this because of the skin or something wrong with my laptop ?

If I had to guess I would say logic board..???
They're expensive
