Screen turn translucent blue (like I was highlighting in word)

Hopefully just a loose cable and not a broken one (or worse). Thanks. I will now google and see how it is connected.

What's your laptop model code. I can help find out the codes of those monitor parts for you, enabling you for a easier and faster replacement.

Ken it is A1466. If they made the type any smaller I'd need an electron microscope to read it LOL. Thanks for your offer. I did watch a video on replacing the cable. Looks easy except for the bezel part. What I might try first (after buying the right tools) is take the bottom off the computer and see if that end of the cord is seated well. If I am very, very lucky maybe that will be the problem. If not, well... that will suck as anything else will be harder/more expensive.

Sandliz please check this out,

Although it's in Chinese, those A1466 screen parts were legit and cheap enough.

FYI, you can just buy a screen or a whole upper screen part, from RMB$300 to RMB$1400 depends on.

And here is the cable ~RMB$45 (US$7)
