Horizontal coloured lines cover the screen when HDMI is not plugged in
Hi there,
I have a really puzzling issue with my MacBook Pro 2015 A1502. The screen is covered with horizontal multi coloured lines across the screen, it covers the entire screen so it becomes unuseable. I assumed this is a software issue, so I installed a brand new WD 500gb SN550 hard drive with a fresh install of Big Sur, but the problem persists. So I assume the issue is hardware related? however, if the HDMI port is populated the issue stops immediately, on. both the Retina as well as the external display, so I assume this isn’t an issue with the ribbon cable, could it be the logic board? or maybe the Base OS X? I fairly new to mac’s so I may be well off, but I’m pretty out of my depth at this point, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
