I reset my macbook recently and the screen has been intermittently flickering ever since. This was never an issue before. I’ve tried resetting pram, nvram, smc etc. i’ve also updated and downgraded to different versions of macOS and still the issue persists. the flickering happens whether i’m connected to power or otherwise. Now here’s the weird part - the flickering stops when i’m watching a video or have an application open that is constantly refreshing data. the flickering also doesn’t happen when i’m in safe mode or when i boot into windows OS using boot camp. Also, when i connect to external display, the flickering does not occur on the external display but still occurs on the macbook display (less frequently). Any idea what’s happening?
Your symptoms line up with a bad T-CON board which sadly is part of the display assembly and can only b replaced with it. Here’s the needed part MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Late 2016-2017) Display Assembly and here’s the guide MacBook Pro 13" Function Keys 2017 Display Assembly Replacement Given the age of your systems I would check the battery as it also likely needs replacing as well.
