Macbook Pro 13" Retina - Screen Flickering (Not an "I need a perfect screen" thread)

[laercioag]

Hey guys,

Just made the switch from a PC to a late 2013 Macbook 13" Retina and everything was going great till the second day when my screen started to flick as you can see in the videos below:

I tried restarting the machine but the screen kept flickering, then I removed the charger and the problem has been gone, almost 2 days of use with no issued at all. I love this machine, it's perfect, no flaws except the one mentioned but I asked for a replacement since I don't want it breaking down after the return period. Anyone experienced the same problem? Was anyone able to replicate it?

HIMYM ftw although I'm disappointed with season 9 so far!


To go back to the original subject, a friend told me he had an issue that looks the same. When he called Apple they made him to a few reset man oeuvre (can't remember what they told him to do) but I guess it was an SMC reset and it worked. (Step by step on apple website)

Hope this helps.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, take it to your local Apple Store.
