Flickering screen for MacBook Pro M5 (2026)

Hi,

It could be possible it's caused by hardware related issue. Try to run Apple Diagnostics if it reports graphics related error or run Etrecheck and paste the result here as soon as possible, before one year limited warranty is expired.

About a Flickering Mac Screen:

Your screen is failing either from hardware issues, a glitch in the macOS.

Based on Personal Experience:

I came across this on my 2017 Mac. The connector between the LogicBoard and the screen was loose, and I had to send it in for service 11 times, being this occurred during COVID, with no stores opened. Today, the option to take this in for service is an option. Having sent it in 11 times for service, and troubleshot it over-the-phone for (what I was told) 100 hours, Apple granted me a free replacement Mac for one that went for Equivalent of 3,000 USD at the time. All I ended up paying was the price of my AppleCare+ Plan.

So, Get this Mac Serviced...

A. Through Apple:

You'd setup a Genius Bar Appointment at your local AppleStore, taking it in for service. There, it will be diagnosed, and you'll be provided with your options.
