For some time my aging 2008 Macbook's LCD has been "flickering" a bit but since it goes away after a while I've ignored it.

But in the last few days a red tint (might be pink - I am color blind :( ) has appeared in the bottom left corner that extends to about the half way point of the LCD. Initially it is quite red but after a little while it fades away though not completely, there is still a noticeable difference between the left and right corners if you look carefully.

It this a sign of the end? Is there anything I can do? My google search reveals similar red tints but with the entire screen.

  • Have you tried calibrating the screen? It's located in System Preferences --> Display --> Calibrate. Considering you're color blind, you might want to ask someone to help you with that. – fsb Apr 19 '16 at 12:01
  • Likely a sign of a dying GPU/screen/cable. Have you run AHT/some video stress program? – JMY1000 Apr 19 '16 at 19:57
