Q: Display flickering, color boxes, virtical bars, 0rpm fan
Hello, my new macbook pro (13-inch, 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD, early 2015 model) have the peculiar issues which is exhausting. The display was started to flicker horizontally at first, after few days or a month it is glitching with color-boxes followed by flickering horizontally, and now there are vertical bars (display-height), each with different color. I did reinstall El Capitan, reset SMC and PRAM for few times but no luck. This issues go to severe level if the system connected to the main-power source. Besides I figured out (with multiple apps) the only-fan is remains at 0 rpm, even if the cpu temperature exceeded 70c. I don't see the fan spins.
For a period of time (initial version of El Capitan), it was darken and freezing which I think fixed after updated to the later version of El Capitan.
Fact is, I've only few days of warranty in my hand and there are no local apple-service. So frustrating... What can I do?
I've a 7-years old mid-2009 which is still doing good after upgrading the RAM (8GB) and replacing the optical drive with bootable 250GB SSD (850 evo).
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), 13-inch, Early 2015, 8GB RAM, 500GB
