[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1540377, member: 56379"] How would you suggest doing the testing if you do not already have the cabling?;) - Firstly (depending on how old this 17" MacBook Pro is)...Apple may not even want to work on it if it's really old. - Secondly (depending on how old this 17" MacBook Pro is)...if Apple would agree to work on it...it may cost you a significant amount of it's current value to get repaired. - Thirdly. If you're capable of replacing the video cable (the cable inside the computer)...why not. The video cable probably costs less than $50. - Forth. If your closest Apple Store is about 3 hours away. It would probably cost you more in gas to drive there & back...than to purchase the external monitor cables you need. Bottom line...taking it to the Apple Store would not be my recommendation. You need to connect your MacBook Pro to an external monitor to see if the pink lines persist. If you don't have the cabling to do this...then you need to get the cables to test things further. - Nick [/QUOTE]
