Either LCD or LCD cable. Is there an Apple Store local to you?
Yeah that's what I thought. Yes there is just thought i do preliminary check before bringing it in. Anyway of checking if its the cable and not the screen? The price different between the two is quite vast.
Thanks in advance
I'm afraid there's no easy way that I know of to check; it's not the simplest job to reseat the cable. I doubt Apple Hardware Test would identify the problem — and even if it did, I don't know how it'd distinguish between the two.
Regardless, the assessment by Apple will be free of charge, even if your iMac is out of warranty, so I hope that's at least some comfort.
Thanks man, will send them in and hopefully it is just the cable
It looks like GPUgate: the same one that plague the 2011 MacBook Pro
