2016 Macbook Pro Display Problem - black screen or alternating lines
My 2016 Macbook Pro with touch bar has been having issues for more than a year but recently it has gotten really bad.
At startup or wake, only the menu bar is shown and the rest of the screen stays black. After 10-15 minutes warm up, the rest of the screen will show, but there are lines below the top menu bar which I found this post https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7834368. Then the screen has alternating lines where the odd lines show the screen content from before, and the even lines show the current screen content. If I wait 5 seconds, then the screen refreshes and show the current screen.
Apple Genius wants a mother board replacement out of pocket since the Macbook is out of warranty. Is this a Flexgate issue or am I SOL?
Anyone has suggestion on fixing this? This is quite disappointing given how expensive this was.
