Bottom portion of screen flickering, with horizontal lines.

Hello all,


Earlier yesterday, my 2019 MBP 13' started flickering in the bottom 1/3 of the screen, has horizontal lines, and hasn't stopped. I am also running the lates v. of Catalina, and have reset my laptop since the flickering began. I am sure this was not caused by me, I have not dropped, or put any pressure on the screen at all.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hi muhsin128,


Form what I understand you have already done restart, SMC, and PRAM.


An additional step, if not covered yet. Would be attempted a safe mode boot. Here is a support guide on these steps:


How to use safe mode on your Mac


When you say you have completed a reset of the Mac. Are you referring to re-install the OS?


How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery


Before these steps I would suggest a Time Machine backup:


Back up your Mac with Time Machine


If the issue is still persisting after a re-install, I would encourage you to reach out to Apple Support:


Contact Apple Support


Have a great day!

Hello muhsin128,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities.


After reading your post, it appears your MacBook Pro bottom of the display is flashing, correct? I'm here to help you take a look in to that!


First, let's do a complete power off of the MacBook Pro. then, I'll have you attempt a reset of the SMC. If the issue continues, you can do PRAM. Here are support articles to follow on these steps to help resolve this issue:

If the issue persists, please don't hesitate to post a reply on the thread!


Cheers!
