Sorry guys it took like so many years o update the post. I ended up buying a replacement LCD online and it was fixed…
Unfortunately we can’t see what you see, thus nobody will be able to help until you post a picture of the faulty area/component: Adding images to an existing question
@mac_obi - The component in the picture is the Ethernet transformer assembly. It does not effect the screen. But! You do have quite a lot of dust and I do see some signs of corrosion. Lets do this get a can of can’ed air and a soft paint brush and carefully scrub the dust around the LVDS connector (the big one in the corner). Then use the can’ed air to push away the loose dirt. You really should do the whole logic board top and bottom after carefully removing it. Look for signs of staining or corrosion (white or green caked on areas) if you do take a good sharp image of the area and post it here for us to see.
Smearing like you have of the image is signal issues within the LVDS connection. It can be corrosion on the logic board connector (which is what I suspect) either the soldered area or the interface to the cable and/or the cable its self.
Not to steal anyone’s thunder , but the experienced folks that chimed in on the LVDS connector are correct. Reseat that a few times, cleaning the connector and blowing out with canned air. Blow out the fat exhausts. I promise if you’re smart enough to take the bottom cover off, you can do these things. You can do it !!!! These steps, and the advice of fellow IT folks here got my 2012 Macbook Pro 15 inch i7 650 nvidia machine up working WITH NO MORE BLUE TINT/LINES!!! I want to thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.
