Hello craigfromjeffersion,


We would like to see how we can help you with your screen flickering while in recovery mode. Does it happen when using the Mac normally? Do you go into recovery mode frequently? Are there any external devices connected to the Mac whn this happens? Check out the steps in this link and get back to us with your results: If your Mac display doesn't look right


Cheers!

Recovery Mode is not the complete MacOS. It is not using graphics acceleration. The screen may re-draw multiple times and may flicker. Just depend on what finally ends up on the screen and you will be fine.


And now you have some hint of why older Macs without good graphics acceleration were dropped from support by more recent version of MacOS.
