Have you seen anything like this? Screen flickering, stopped but now I have a line that has more luminosity than the other parts of the screen.

So my battery died, and when I charged it up and turned back on my Mac, the screen brightness was giving erros on display. Like flickering and going up and down. Alright. I tried all those resets that we know of command+option+p+r; right shift option and power.... I tried all of them. The flickering disappeared. It was only in the beginning though, fortunately. But something didn't disappear. There's a part of my screen, like a huge line on the right side that has more light and is more blue than the other part of the screen.


I haven't dropped it; I also haven't installed any software to have this to happen. I actually removed several apps so I could update to the newest software.


you can see the line on the video below:

I can use pretty normally with it but I would love to have a solution to this as I didn't do pretty much nothing. Battery died, I put to charge and this happened.


Did this happened to anyone before?



Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

Looking at your video and description I think it looks like a hardware problem in the screen/display. The easy way to distinguish between screen or video control circuits is to get a screen shot from the keyboard and send it to another device where you can view on a different display. Hit Command-Shift-3 and save then email it to yourself, view on iPhone. If the problem has disappeared in the screenshot the fault is in the display. If it is still visible the fault is in the video or logic board.


Armed with that info, Contact Apple Support to arrange service.
