[QUOTE="Pmartone, post: 1753424, member: 391295"] When I was using my macbook pro 15" retina, fall 2013, the screen began to fade white and thick horizontal lines appeared. It went black wth the screen still backlit afterwards. When i restart it the computer will display aloading screen, or a working desktop. It will then black out or fade to white and black out. Sometimes I can restart an hour later and get 15-20 minutes of uninterrupted usage until it fades to white and black outs. Extra info: I replaced a cracked screen by myself last year. I did the Pram Reset and SMC reset to no avail. I ran the test in startup to check for hardware issues. It said the battery needs to be replaced "soon" Could it be a graphics card? Or loose connection from me changing the screen? how much will it cost to salvage the motherboard? The behavior is erratic each tiem, but heres a video of it https://youtu.be/ycfyORMdZMc [/QUOTE]
