Rainbow screen glitch keeps happening in MacBook Pro 16 inch

I bought the new MacBook 16 inch last year and shortly after I bought it the display glitches started. Got the graphic card replaced by Apple but a few weeks after it happened again and then they replaced my Mac. Now the new one is also doing it again! What’s happening? Anyone having the same issue? What can fix it? Otherwise I’ll use the guarantee and return it.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.1

Hi maxh969,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're having an issue with you Mac display after having service completed. We're happy to assist.


Since noticing the issue again, have you tried any troubleshooting such as starting in safe mode, testing in a new user account or resetting the NVRAM to see if the issue remains? If not, check out the steps for each below:


Start up your Mac in safe mode


Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac


Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac


If the issue remains after testing, and completing the reset we recommend backing up your information and reinstalling the macOS to further test. How to reinstall macOS


Should the issue return after reinstalling, we'd recommend reaching back out to Apple Support to help check on your options. You can get support by phone or chat, here: Contact Apple Support



Best!
