LCD screen discolored with red pixels
Several days ago when I was using my Macbook pro, the LCD screen suddenly discolored with red pixels shrinking on some part of the screen. I have connected it to another monitor, and the display is fine, and the image captured by print screen is also fine. So I suggest it might be the problem of the display data cable. But the discoloration only happens for certain areas and certain colors. Normally for black regions, the majority of the region will be changed to discolored red pixels, but it won't happen for white or gray ones. Please kindly help to identify the problem, thanks a lot.The attached images are all taken using my iPhone when viewing ifixit web pages.
Is this a good question?

Hi All,
I have the same problem on a Macbook Pro 17" late 2006 (A1212). For your info I changed the inside LCD removing frame (99$ for a used one at Powerbookmedic.com). Maybe I should have buy it at iFixt instead! :)
Anyway nothing has changed. Same problem. So now I am supposing it is the data cable connector of the LCD. But not sure at all. Maybe it is the motherboard?!
¿Anyway did any of you fix finally the problem? If Yes how?
Thanks for your help.
