Flickering and pixelated screen

Hi,

Personally, I wouldn't settle for a new repaired computer. If you're still in your 14 day return period, I'd return it either for a refund or a new MBP.

You're welcome. 🙂 Better luck on your new one if that's what you decide to do. FWIW, I've been working on Mac notebooks since 1992, and neither I, nor anyone I know, has ever had a hardware issue. Here in ASCs, we only hear from the people whose Macs have issues. Out of the millions and millions of Macs sold, I think very few have hardware problems, but there certainly have been instances where a whole, or almost all, of a release has had hardware issues, but luckily these are very rare. Right now, here in ASCs, it seems like the 2016 MBPs have many and varied issues, but again, we only hear from those whose Macs have issues.

Hey mate, I have the the exactly same issue, happened 5 five times for me within 1 week time. Randomly happened, can't repeat the same issue with a specific testing case. Really bug me lot. And I heard from some Mac forum, a lot of people have the same pixelated screen issue as well. Really disappointed with this new Macbook.😠😠😠

Hey mate, it's not getting really hot, but the section above the touch bar always a little bit hotter than my old Mac.

The issue happened when I tried to open multiple app at the same time, the screen just pixelated and mess up. I did hear some one have the issue with the cooling system "the fan not running at first".

But I believe the "pixelated screen" issue is not a rare case this time, several media have already reported this issue, and still waiting the official response from apple.

I had this problem too...boxed mine up and returned it. (I BTO'd a maxed-out 15" and had this happen.) I suspect it's a problem with the Radeon chip, System Report said that it was using the integrated Intel graphics. Running diagnostics found nothing. I wish you luck in finding a fix and I'm curious if it is a rare occurrence or is affecting many users.

Same issue here. Was admittedly in shock when I started seeing puzzle like green mosaics all over the screen today. Have been trying to reproduce without success. Appeared again during startup for a short millisecond but not since. Still, very worried. spent a lot of money and need this computer for work. Any updates from Apple?

This may sound really stupid, but try lightly hitting the edge of the screen/body on the table. I have had similar problem with various ios devices. Do not bang hard, but just tap it. You may need to use some pressure. I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BREAK THE MAC!

It would be, yes. I feel similarly frustrated, maybe due to the high hopes, who knows. Either way, with a price tag like that, this should obviously not happen. Apple products have, for the most part over the past 10 years, served me wonderfully, and I hope what the product might lack, the service will make up. Have a phone call schedules for tomorrow and will see about the response. Unfortunately, I won't be able to give it back, unless they have an immediate replacement (unlikely), because I need it for work. Just hope that once they do get a replacement, I will still be able to return and exchange it, since that might be after the return period ends. Anyway, will keep you posted if I get any valuable info.

I understand your thinking, but for anyone reading this, please don't do it. If you end up damaging your device yourself, your guarantee and return rights are definitely gone. If you've seen it, it's there, just go and talk to Apple about it.

next problem: just randomly shut down without an error message or anything else. still have a call schedules in 30mins.
