i already made several posts about this mac, i hope this is the final one.
recently i mentioned that my mac has some screen flickering problems, the strange thing is that, its doesnt appear at first, after reinstalling macos it works just fine, untill i bring it out somewhere where its cold, (like taking it to school)
low temperature IS DOING SOMETHING, IDK WHAT and screen starts to flashing, after this cold temperature sessions its starts to keep flashing sometimes, i couldnt understand why and when it starts to flashing, it was just stopping doing it sometimes, UNTILL
today i mentioned that its just stops flashing on mid brightness, setting brightness to medium (or lower) fully stops the flashing screen
im wonder what kind of hardware issue is this?
btw some details: screen has damaged bottom black plastic pannel, also several burned out pixels, beside that it works just fine idk
the motherboard was changed recently, original one had burned out GPU and it was permanently set to the integraded graphics, (also it had modified bios chip, idk i mentioned it cuz it may be usefull for you) this new motherboard is working just fine, every detail is on its place and it isnt missing anything,
ALSO its worth to mention that, while still on old motherboard with damaged GPU, failed GPU's one of the symptoms were that, backlight was working on full strenght, it wasnt possible to do something about it (i couldnt change the brightness), and the failing GPU also was resulting the same screen flickering, but the flikering was dissaperaing after turrning off the automatic graphics switching
and the last thing, power jack is damaged (it has overheating marks) im planning to change it, charger itself overheats, and the battery life is at 80% could it be related to this problem?
so what u think? im guessing that maybe old motherboard with burned GPU and backlight stuck at full bright may be damaged something there and now its kinda failing? also the mac works great in other aspects, it perfectly runs the games that are comparable with its hardware (i got no problems with its specs, i just need this mac for studing, youtube, internet and some games)
so yeah thats all, point of this post is that to me to understand what may cause this situation
