Macbook Pro Down

UPDATE: I finally got the macbook back after about a month. They had to replace the entire screen, but seems to be working great now!

This is a response to Al's Broken Macbook Pro video. For a couple of months now my new (bought in jan of this year, as seen in the video Macbook Pro and other Goodies from the Apple Store) Macbook Pro has been having some video issues. These problems look like the colors are set to low but thats not the issue. Hard to explain, better just to watch.

I will give updates along the way with this :)

From what I saw i think i got an idea whats wrong with your MBP,

its nothing to do with the graphics card or controller, its the LCD itself to be exact the Light Inverter Board this controls the cold cathode light behind your screen background they can be replaced. Hope this helps

Hello :) You were right! I just got a call from the apple store, and thats exactly what it was, the replaced the entire LCD screen and mount and its on the way back :) Thanks for the suggestion. I showed them this comment and they said they would look at it, and you were right. Thanks again :)

Hey Buddy, I have heard about this from 3 different guys, must be a glitch in the system...weird. Did ya get it fixed yet? Just got this video..been out of..hmmmm..."commission" for a bit. No place like the USA!! Keep em coming!!

[qlet]

Hey :) I have not gotten it fixed yet. I have been in and out of town myself. Havent had time to take it to the apple store yet, but plan on it next week :)

man, sorry to hear about your MBP issues, I'm really starting to debate right now if buying one this September would be a good decision... I'd say if just your computer was having these issues I wouldn't have any good reason not to buy one for myself, but videos like this keep popping up, and I'm starting to feel a bit leery about buying one at this point. once school starts I really can't afford to go 7-10 days without a computer...

oh well, good luck to you, hope your experience goes well...

[qlet]

Well it is having problems. But at present its not really having issues running, actually right now the video is fine. It just goes in and out. I do not regret buying it. I wouldnt have anything else but a MBP . One the kinks get worked out Im sure it will be fine :)

Broken LCD panel. Some of the TDMS Data lanes is missing (it has 3 to 5 data lanes + a Clock lane) It looks like the colour depth is off, yeah.

That's not a bad thing btw. Quite entertaining!

Your intro is like the start of a 90s sex ed film!

I had the same error. Resetting the Parameter RAM worked fine for me. (CMD + ALT + P + R). No Hardware error.

that background looks great!

Well if you boot into windows and it is still like that it is obviously a hardware issue.

NVIDIA publicly acknowledged a higher than normal failure rate for some of their graphics processors. After an Apple-led investigation, Apple has determined that some MacBook Pro computers with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor may be affected. If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within three years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty.
