Macbbok Screen Problems

Hi,


Can anyone help, the screen my MacBook (early 2016) has become really bright/flickering also when on iMessage page for example you can see the safari page behind it. Even when safari isn't even open. Its like it has layers or a safari page is stuck in the background and shows up behind when on other applications. Hard to explain sorry. Any help would be great.

For a start on troubleshooting; you could try restart in Safe mode.

(This is similar to using First Aid in Disk Utility. Helps, via a restart.)

Maybe even try an Apple diagnostic test from within your Mac?

You may try restart in SMC to reset this, may help; it's similar to a

'power management reset' in some effect. [Then try NVRAM reset.]

Could be a hardware defect, so these are kinda like a test.

Good luck & happy trails!🌻🐝
