MacBook Air M2 screen flickering

My MacBook Air M2 screen has just started flickering. The screen will shut off for about ¼ second and then go back on again. This happens randomly- sometimes it will do this every 30 seconds or so for several minutes, and sometimes nothing will happen for several hours. Any suggestions on what this might be and how to fix it?



MacBook Air, macOS 15.1

Based on personal experience...


About a Flickering Mac Screen:

A. Your Screen is Failing:

I have come across this on my 2017 MacThe connector between the LogicBoard and the screen was loose, and I had to send it in for service 11 times. Being during COVID, I had to send this in. Today, the option to take this in for service is an option. So take this in for service, ASAP.


B. To Get this Mac Serviced...

Contact Apple, and setup a Genius Bar Appointment or see an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your local area.
