    LCD damage to Macbook Air with no discernable cause.

    I know this is going to sound ridiculous. Please just bear with me. So I opened up my Macbook this morning to witness this. Seems to be LCD damage because it only manifests when the screen is on, and brightness affects how visible it is. Did some research this morning and the answer I got was...

    iPad mini 4 screen with weird red smudge on screen

    Hi there, This question is more about curiosity than about finding a solution for it, since it's not giving me troubles-yet. I inherited a nice iPad mini 4 because of that screen issue. A friend of mine had this iPad mini for about a year and noticed a big red "line" (more like a bold finger...

    Horizontal & vertical lines across screen

    Not sure if this is fixable. Came back from a weekend trip and found my MBA screen like this. Nothing happened to it to my knowledge. When I plug it into an HDMI I can see everything on my TV screen, so maybe just a connection issue? Anything helps, thanks!
