Flashing vertical and horizontal lines

Thank you for the information! That is very helpful! I was hoping since it worked partly closed that it would be a cable? its weird how some of the vertical lines move up and down on the screen as I scroll....

My Only problem now is that the screen is out of stock! and this is a work computer I stare at all day 10+ hours a day. Are there any other legitimate sources for a screen? What tool kit would be good to purchase for this as well?

Thanks in advance, going to have to decide if this is worth the repair or if I should start looking at a new one :(

@Christopher Meats - Which is your system? 2017 15" Silver or Space grey.

@danj it is the Space grey. I looked on macs website and it looks like the trade in value on this is still not bad. But they did not seem to have a place to indicate that I have a screen problem so I do not know how that would affect trade in.

Here's a new part 15" MacBook Pro Display Assembly - Space Grey (16/17), Apple P/N 661-08030

TheBookYard sometimes has recycled parts 15" MacBook Pro Display Assembly

Most outfits review the system before forking over the cash. So you won't get top dollar for a busted system.

@danj looks like that part is listed as backordered. Im also USA based so imagine shipping, VAT, etc. would rack up the bill quite a bit? Ever had any luck buying off of amazon or ebay? Thanks for all the help!
