Display with flickering linesĪ week or so later, the backlight issues are back with a vengeance. The effect was fleeting and faint enough to allow me to persuade myself I might have imagined it. This second time, I noticed a small amount of flickering at the bottom of the screen a couple of times. A few horrified experiments later, I discovered the screen would work provided the lid was barely open, enough for a hasty last information grab/back up, etc. After a few days of trying to ignore these, the screen went black. The first time round, the screen developed pale bars across the bottom. The visual effect is not exactly the same – it’s worse. Just coming up for two years later, it has. He assured me that the replacement screen would not develop the same problem. I was shocked, having experienced excellent reliability on my 2009 iMac, which still works, though very much in its own time, to see its replacement fail before it.Īfter hours of research and online chats, I was referred to an Apple Genius man who arranged for the screen and sticking keyboard to be replaced.
Shortly after this, my display started playing up. A delicate flex cable in a tight space tends to wear after the display is repeatedly opened and closed. Repair website iFixit announced in 2019 that that the 2016 MacBook Pro had backlight issues caused by a design flaw.
