MacBook 2016 screen flickering

A few days ago my screen started to flicker. It looks like it rapidly turns on and off. It happens now and then and seems to end if one moves the mouse cursor to the top of the screen. I think it started after upgrading to macOs Sierra 10.12.3. Anyone else has this problem?

i have this problem too, seems to be more often when there is a lot of white on the screen (browser), less with dark apps or desktop background. Reducing the screen brightness also seems to help with me.

Definitely annoying for this price class of equipment

Yes, it is really annoying.

For how long does your screen flicker? Once it has started, how do you resolve it?

Do you remember when it started? Mine started to flicker about a week ago.

Note that in my case no cables are connected to theMacBook.

I also have the problem, it started either yesterday or today. With testing I could find out a few characteristics of this issue.

I own a 2016 MBP 15 inch (2.7GHz i7, Radeon Pro 460). The Problem only occurs when the macbook is running the Intel HD 530, ONLY if I am viewing a still screen. Even the tiniest animation in a webbrowser and it will not appear at all. Moving the mouse will also immediately fix it (until you stop again and wait a few seconds).

Since I worked on my LG UltraFine 4k recently I am not certain when it started since with the 4k Display the MBP is always running the AMD GPU. I can certainly say it started BEFORE updating to 10.12.3!

Workaround for the time beeing: In Energy saving options, disable GPU switching. This will higher the power consumption though.

If I try to search for the issue I find more hackintosch related posts - these Guys had the Issue with the same graphic card for at least one year as it looks like, and its always a problem with the driver. Makes me hope it is as well, but I will see a genius bar next week if I dont find a solution...

I have the Intel HD Graphics 515 1536 MB on my MacBook 2016 12-inch.

Yes, it seems that it goes away when moving the mouse, but sometimes the flickering frequencey just increases. Usually I have to move the mouse to the top of the screen to make it stop.

The gpu switching option is not available on my MacBook unfortunately.

I hope it is related to the macOs upgrade to 10.12.3. I read the release notes:

• Improves automatic graphics switching on MacBook Pro (15-inch, October 2016).
• Resolves graphics issues while encoding Adobe Premiere Pro projects on MacBook Pro with Touch Bar (13- and 15-inch, October 2016).

It seems they have updated something in this area. Since you only experience the problem when running your Intel graphics card and my graphics card is also an Intel I suspect they introduce a bug in the Intel graphics card driver when  making the updates.

Hi,

I updated my laptop and it started to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XCwTjl8ZzU It's not this bad all the time but the screen flashes quite often. Any ideas what to do with this? EDIT: I have Macbook Pro 13" 2016

Thanks,

Veikko

That looks like what my computer does as well. In my case it stops when moving the mouse cursor to the top of the screen. I'm guessing you have an intel graphics card. Are you running macOs 10.12.3?

I a video of my problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XxykDmaTjk

The first 2 steps recommended by apple support does not solve the issue. The third step to try is About macOS Recovery - Apple Support

It seems like Firefox is causing this.

Hi,

I bought a MacBook Pro 13" 2017 Retina two weeks ago, and today the screen started flickering, brand new, just 2 weeks..., I called to apple care and we made some tests, I erased the disk and nothing fix the problem, I have to go back to the store with my mac.

I have been having this same issue where my screen will start to flicker in a certain area it looks like a bunch of white bars at first I thought it was part of the video then I refreshed the page and they were no longer there. I had the 2017 MacBook Pro non touchbar this is the second unit I have had this problem with not identical but similar. I am  patiently waiting for apple to release a new version of the MacBook Pro as I do not trust the current version after having heard of this issue so many times and experienced it on 2 of my own

Please fix apple In need of a reliable machine!

Hi,

    Did apple fix your problem? I have brought my mac to apple store twice. The Genius Bar replaced the logic board and screen but the problem still exists. The staff there didn't know how to solve this either.
