[QUOTE="Chris H., post: 1057849, member: 124706"] I don't see any pink lines to speak of, so it's definitely a problem with the hardware as the screenshot does not show the problem you mentioned. LCD's are fragile, so it can be narrowed down to two things: 1) The graphics card is loosened, or the connection to it is loosened. 2) The LCD may have fine cracks in it, resulting in the lines.- I would say #2 is probably it. LCD's work by way of crystals in some sort of liquid that applies charge when powered which causes the crystals to align. If the fall did anything to this, some of the crystals may not be aligning at the charge (they may be slightly damaged etc.). Tapping on the screen may cause them to align. Really this is only a rough hunch, but in any case, you're better off taking the computer to an Apple Retail Store where they'll send it off to either replace the screen, or replace the graphics card/repair the connection to the screen.
