This issue is almost, 99% of the time, never the cable. The idea that the video cable causes this is a myth that has been perpretrated for years by wishful thinking types because they want a ten dollar fix to their problem. One person says the cable fixed their problem so 100 other people buy an LVDS cable only to realize that wasn't their issue, but since they never come back to the thread to say it was not the issue, no one ever knows... they just assume the $20 fix will work.
Reballing is also BS because the GPU is DEAD!!!! Putting new solder balls on a DEAD GPU does nothing, you are just heating up the dead chip to make it work again, similar to how poking a recently killed bug causes it to move a little until it stops.
Try this if you have a machine with integrated graphics + discrete GPU. boot up, do nothing. Then open photo booth. photo booth turns the integrated GPU off, and discrete GPU on. If you see lines only with photobooth on, discrete GPU is bad. If you see lines only with photobooth off, intel integrated graphics is bad.
Most of the time this issue is screen or GPU related.
If you have an X1600 based iMac or Macbook Pro from 2006-2007, the GPU is probably already dead, or died 3 times already. These are just trash.
If you have a Macbook Pro with GeForce 8600M graphics, it is probably dead already. While not worth fixing, it is at least fixable.
If you have a Macbook Pro with an AMD GPU - it is about to die or has died already. You can replace the chip but it'll die again in a few years, these quad core sandy bridges married to the same heatsink as a junky AMD GPU are trash.
Whether the issue is in the screen, the GPU, the Intel CPU's integrated graphics, the LCD cable, how the LCD cable is plugged in, or the LVDS MUX; this will be specific to YOUR machine. There is no "oh this worked for him so it'll work for me, too", there is no shortcut around thinking, analyzing, and diagnosing on your own. Do not buy a cable because it worked for someone else, do not replace a GPU because it worked for someone else. Figure out your own issue based on your own symptoms, none of that wishful thinking crap!

Hey,
I just got the exactly same problem. Could you get it fixed? Did you exchange the cable or the display?

Benedikk - Nope no other solution here it's time for a new display. If you go to Apple for the repair they will put in a new display. But, the bad news here is many of this series is no longer being serviced by Apple. Without knowing what your model is I can't tell you for sure. Your best option is either replacing the panel unit your self or if you don't want to go that far find a parts system that has a good display and just swap the lid assembly (you can often find a complete lid for sale on eBay as well). Good luck

I had this problem and had a store replace my display. That worked for about 3 months. Then it happened all over. They said it was likely in the motherboard.

I have the same problem on my mid-2010 macbook pro. For me, using the "f.lux" application gets rid of those pesky pink lines. It's a free app, so might as well give it a try. I also have a problem with my screen going completely black unless I squeeze and hold the side of the casing near the left speaker. An odd problem, and I found a bizarre solution. Open Google Chrome, and just leave it running in the background. Why do these apps solve these problems? No clue...
