    MacBook Pro A1708 pink screen and flickering

    Hi all,

    a friend brought me his A1708. Apple store told him that the screen needs to be replaced for 400 € but they didn't even open it to check anything.
    Since this model is not known for flexgate issues is there anything else i can check or is this also a faulty display flex?
    Btw external screen works fine.

          Thank you,i already checked this area but after cleaning i don't see any cracks or pinches. Can this be also a fault behind the apple bezel on the display?
          Did you repair this fault?

              I would replace the screen, these screens are pretty cheap to find now on eBay. You could easily pull a working one from a dead board.

                  Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
                  by Ryan.man
                  Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

                  My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

                  This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

                  LCD TV Green/Pink screen problem
                  by jimjoe123
                  I have a Dick Smith 37" LCD TV, Model GE6804. I am using it as PC extended monitor only.

                  Problem is while watching tv, I hear a semi loud click(like a electrical breaker tripping due to overload, just sound like it but no actual electrical overload), then screen is covered with green or pink. I can still see the original picture image but overlayed by green or pink. See attached images. Pink.jpg is what I see, and Normal.jpg is before green or pink screen, What I captured was pink screen, but about 80% of time it's green and 20% of time it's pink.

                  Then each time...

                  Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Gen 10 - Flickering Screen
                  by Ado02
                  Hello everyone,

                  We recently replaced the OLED screen on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Gen 10. After about a month, the replacement screen began to flicker. Initially, updating the Intel® Iris® Xe graphics driver resolved the issue for about a week. However, when the problem recurred, updating the driver again had no effect.

                  The flickering only occurs once the system reaches the Windows login screen. Interestingly, if we disable the Intel GPU driver or connect the laptop to an external monitor, the flickering stops. We have tried installing two different replacement screens,...

                  MacBook Air M1 A2337 Screen Replacement - keeping TrueTone
                  by MagJ_
                  Hello Everybody,

                  I have a cracked screen and want to fix it. Usually, TrueTone will be gone as long as one does not prune open the screen and exchange only the LCD. However, I have seen the following Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBNqhp6p_ZM, Solve MacBook M1 Pro screen true tone issue from the channel Master Liu, where only two chips called "display control chip" and "code chip" are swapped over to the new screen. I know, it is for the MacBookPro version. Though, I had the hope that it could work similarly for the MacBook Air as well.

                  Macbook Pro 16" A2141 screen artefacts, kernel panic
                  by sofles
                  Hi there.

                  I have Macbook Pro 16" 2019, model number A2141, motherboard number 820-01700. I have some problem with dedicated graphic card. When Macbook switches to dedicated GPU it is getting instantly hot and starts to show glitches on screen, then it freezes (trackpad is not clicking anymore) and shuts down.
                  I tried to reinstall MacOS But it was a pain, it started to show glitches in middle of installation and I could not finish it. I only was able to reinstall MacOS when I put Macbook outside (it is winter and -2 Celcius).

                  Now situation looks like this, If...
