Screen flickers on MacBook Pro with Retina Display

Hello,


I'm having an issue with my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, sometimes the screen is flickering for half a second.

It appears more often today, I don't know why.

I hope I could find help here.


Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I will try to call them and do it next week.


I have searched a lot about the subject and I found some informations :

* for some users webgl is the reason

* for some others by putting never to screen sleep the problem seems to disappear


If you have the same problem try this to see if this happen (happen a few times for me) :

Go to Gmail with Chrome and open a new tab

Expand the brower to the left or right

Go back to Gmail and it will resize automatically to the new width

Sometimes during this process, the issue appear.
