You can attempt to reset the SMC and the NVRAM however I am not sure whether that will solve a potential hardware issue. If the steps below does not resolve the issue then have your MacBook Pro examined at the Appel Store or at an Authorized Service Center. You may always contact ➔ Apple Support


  1. Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
  2. Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
  3. Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the screen issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things, then it is time to either contact Apple Support or get your MacBook Pro examined for service.
