[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1250502, member: 46727"] It's difficult to say what's wrong with the display. It could either be the display or graphics causing the black bar. Take a screenshot of your desktop. If the black bar shows up on the screenshot, then it's probably the graphics chipset causing it. That might mean a new logic board. If the screenshot is clear, then it's likely the display itself. Did you by chance drop your MacBook? Bump it into anything? Spill water on the screen area? Have it in your backpack along with other books? The reason I asked the above is that any kind of accidental damage to the display is not covered by Apple care. Anyway, make an appointment with Apple and have them look at it. [/QUOTE]
