Hoping for some advice. Occasionally, my 13" base model map w/ TB has a problem where the screen will just flicker when I start up. It's happened 2 or 3 times since I purchased it in December. I power off and on again and everything returns to normal.

Is this cause for concern? Has anyone else had this problem?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Have you tried resetting the NVRam and SMC? That might fix it, but if it happens after doing those resets I’d take it to Apple ASAP while you still have warranty on it.

Thank you! I'll contact support about the issue if it happens again. I purchased the extra warranty and otherwise it appears to be fine but was just curious if anyone else had that happen,
