The screen on my macbook (07 White 13" Macbook) is only displaying the top half of the screen.The bottom half is filled with colored vertical lines.On occasion it will clear up partially but mainly stays this way. I have reset the smc and pram. I have also disassebled and reseated the connection on the back of the lcd screen only.I have not reseated the connection wher it goes inside the computer body itself.
 
Sounds like a hardware problem. Could be:

1) The LCD itself
2) The ribbon cable/connector that connects the LCD to the motherboard
3) The graphics card/chipset

More than likely a cracked LCD panel. The only thing is how did you check the connection on the back of the LCD when you have to remove the display, and unplug the LVDS cable before you can disassemble the display assembly to check the connection to the LCD?
