    Hi all,

    I opened up my 6 month old MacBook this morning, and a think black line appeared along the top of the screen. It starts just above the "Help" button on Finder, and then goes slightly diagonally downwards, cutting right through my wireless signal, my battery indicator and the time. I tried shutting down the computer for a couple of hours. I can't take a screenshot of it so I assume it's hardware problem. The laptop is practically brand new, it was only bought in February. Is anyone familiar with this problem, or can anyone tell me what best to do?

    Thanks a million SP. I hope it's easily fixable because I need my laptop more than ever at the moment! I have my shíte old Vaio to tide me over if needs be, I suppose :(.
