Goodbye Laptop

[Drummerboy]

I hope i am posting this on the right forum, if not i apologize. 

 

About 6 months ago Back in August of 2015 i messed up my Macbook playing WoW on it. Note: I bought this macbook back in 2011/2012

 

I had been playing on my laptop which had been sitting on my desk for most of its life. One day i got really lazy and decided to set it up via hdmi to my tv so i could play from my bed. (yeah, pretty lazy right) The way i set it up was not the best. I had my laptop sitting on my computer chair (see pic) with all the cables coming out of it from there. I had been using that set up for about  a week (i got way really lazy that summer). Then one day the screens image distorted and turned black then powered off.  

 

After that happened i put the laptop aside, built a computer and havent really touched it since. I powered it on today and received this log in screen (see pic, black line is from snapchat to blur out my name) very distorted image with obvious lines going across , doesnt look normal. After typing in my password, the loading bar loads up to about a third of the way and then gives me a white screen (see pic) and won't load past that screen. Also it can only stay powered on with the charger plugged in to it.

 

After going through that, my first thought was i had damaged the graphics card from the excessive amount of heat when it was sitting on the computer chair. Than i thought i could try buying a brand new battery to see if that may help things, but im thinking not.

 

What do you guys think. fixable?  Any info/theories are appreciated! thank you

obviously its not in warranty but may be worth taking to an iGenius so they can evaluate the machine and whether it is economical to repair, shame if it is dead as will still run well as I'm sure you are aware. Good Luck!

Although i agree you shouldnt have re posted this, @Goodman2265 no need for foul language and not all of us use PC, also myself knows alot on the Mac side however dont own one myself.

Not really foul. I was using it in the sense as we dont work with it. Not using it in as like "Ima fuck your mom"
