I have a MacBook Air 2020 (intel processor) since September 2020 and there seems to be a glitch with my screen. Random blocks of pixels/code will appear on the screen and will only disappear when I move my cursor. I have seen others experience this, and some even recommend replacing it completely! I really don't want to have to get a new model so soon!

My Case:
My MacBook Pro is out for service at the moment exactly for this issue. I am told that it is from debris getting behind the screen. How does that happen? Got me. Of course, that's just a rumor of what happened. Its been out for service for almost a week - so the Techs must be taking their time on this. I took some photos of the pixels, so they could see it firsthand. They're probably trying their best to get it to pop up by chance.
Got my Mac Back - Turns out there were dead pixels, and there was debris (foreign material) involved.

Wow, yes they must be taking their time trying to get it to happen again! It seems as though it only occurs randomly so I feel as though it would be very easily dismissed. I felt as though it would most likely a software issue so the dust idea is baffling!! It would be great to hear when your Pro is back and if they managed to sort it!

I'll be getting my MacBook Pro back in the mail tomorrow. So, keep an eye on that link from a week ago, as I will post an update tomorrow on how it all worked out.

Take Some Pictures and Include Some Notes:
I plan to give them a week, and then follow up with them. Don't want to seem too pushy here. But, if you do get this serviced, do what I did and include some notes for them about what to know about - and some pictures. I also requested that they clear some debris out of it, which they tell me the always do, if I include it in the packaging when sending it out.
