IMAC weird Screen Flash

Help! Anyone know what would cause this sort of flash you'll see it around the 1 min mark and 1 min 13 second mark. It happens a few times one startup, but will randomly happen anytime the screen is one regardless of whether it's being used or not. I've reset the Pram and did a diagnostic and nothing showed. https://youtu.be/81YlxfDj5fc

Hi Helpwiththescreen,


I watched your video and see the issue. Since this happens randomly, this is most likely a hardware issue. I would use this link, Mac Repair - Official Apple Support, and setup an appointment at an Apple Store or AASP to get your Mac checked out.


Backup all data before sending it into repair.


Cheers,


Jack
