Wide pink lines on screen

On starting my MacBook Pro, I am unable to access any part of the computer all I can see is 5 wide pink lines and one black line. I am not sure how to change the display and I can access the computer to reset anything.

Any advice?


MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.6

You have a hardware issue...


In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"

As a work-a-round you can plug in an external monitor and compare your results.
