Hi,
I've a Macbook Pro Retina 13" late 2013 and I now have thin horizontal line all over the screen. I've seen many other people having this and also many similar photos on Google Images, but i cannot find any information if it's a screen fault or a motherboard / graphic card issue?
Any info about that?
Thanks

It can be one or more of the following...
a. Discrete GPU is failing.
b. Ribbon cable to LCD is failing/disconnected.
c. Main logic board itself is failing.

Run diagnostics to see if it spawns any error codes.

Well, I've seen many people on Google having the same issue of the small thin horizontal lines all over the screen that I was hoping someone would have explain what it was... I know it must be hardware, but motherboard or screen... That's the question....

I got another MacBook Pro 2014 fully working.
Verdict: It's the screen. If I switch the screen, everything works well. So it's not the motherboard or the graphic card (part of the motherboard).
Voila
