Screen freeze - colour changes

HI,

I have got the same problem with my mac book pro. Screen freezes or turns one colour when I put pressure on the bottom area of the mac where the Logic board is. It sometimes happens too when it heats up or when it is overpowered by powerful software. Not sure which exactly. But anyway mac still heats up when powerful applications are used.

Could you please tell me what solved your problem?

Thanks

Sounds like connector damage or battery/logic board damage.

If you dropped or squeezed this machine (stacked stuff on it, forced it into a crowded bag/backpack) you may have cracked the battery or logic board.

When your place pressure on the bottom of your machine is torquing/flexing the broken components causing a short.

A workaround may be to use a USB or Bluetooth keyboard & mouse (I assume resting your palms/hands on the case causes the pressure).

If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.
