Macbook pro retina flicker

It could be that more heat builds up in that area causing some magic to happen with the components

Has anyone else basically been told by the Apple Store to "deal with it" because there's no way of reproducing it, and 4 videos of flickering that contain your serial number simply isn't enough to warrant doing anything beyond a system test?

Nope, I had a short video that could have belonged to anybody, they also couldn't reproduce it in store, but the guy took my word for it and ordered up a need display and logic board

Clintkev251 : Was both display and logic board replaced for you. How is working now ?

For me only logic board was replaced, for few days it was fine but then issue started happening again.

It is not that frequent now, but still there and i think will increase over-time as it did earlier.

Solgel : The flickering of the screen happens so randomly while browsing or watchig videos .. basically when in use it happens anytime. And it is very fast.

Are you referring to the same flickering, how do you manage to keep hand on/around f2 so quickly.

Yes, they repalced both since the technicion couldn't diagnose exactly what the problem was. That was about a month ago and as of yet I have had no flickering or any other issues. (Also nice that they replaced the display because there was a tiny little scratch in one of the corners that had been driving me nuts!)

THis is now happening on my machine. I tried a few of the suggestions with no success. I guess I'll have to take it in to the store.

I did check my colorsync stuff and no problems there.

I have the flicker issue too, but only sometimes. I've been trying to figure out what triggers it, and I've noticed something weird. For me, the laptop works fine all day, when I'm working at my desk. Then the problem would occur at night when I use the laptop in bed. I was using a latptop table like this. I stopped using that table and I haven't had the problem since. So, I'm wondering if it's some kind of static electricity issue between the plastic top of that table and the bottom of the MBP. What kind of surface is everyone else using when they see this issue?

I have this problem too. I took it in to get it fixed. I had brought with me this video to help them figure of what was wrong.

They replaced the main logic board, but now the problem has started again. And now it is getting worse. This is a huge inconvenience because I use my computer solely for my work, which happens to be video editing. And let me tell you it is not very professional to be working with a client on a video and then you cannot get your computer screen to stop flickering. It does seem to flicker more when I am using the computer in the dark. Although, I am a highly loyal Apple customer, I am getting pretty peeved with them for not addressing this issue when so many seem to have it. I plan on taking my computer back in to see if they can do anything else to try to fix this problem.

All surfaces, on my lap and on a wooden desk.. although now that I think about it it did seem to happpen less on my lap

K46 : I had similar issue as shown in your video.

First repair : logic board changed, was fine for 2 weeks but flickering started happening again so problem not solved.

Second repain : LCD clamshell (complete top of the laptop) has been changed. It has been only 2 days since i got it back .. so need some time to confirm if the issue is resolved. But seesm fine so far.

I'm from Chile and I am having the same issue... for what I have been reading in this post most people who got the clamshell replaced resolved their problem. Does anyone experienced this problem since they replaced the clamshell? I think im taking my mac this or next week.

I have this issue, and I have noticed that it seems to happen most after I have been carrying the machine around. I do this quite a bit, and it seems to "wear off" after a while of the computer resting in one place... which leads me to believe that it is a physical issue. pinched wire sounds about right.

Seems LCD clamshell is solving the issue.

although it has been only 5 days since i got it back from repair, so far things are looking fine.
