MacBook 2016 screen is glitching

About all you may do is try reset of NVRAM -or- PRAM and also SMC reset.

Main issue/symptoms could be hardware related, though. ~ Tried these?

"..If you experience issues with sleep, wake, power, charging your Mac

notebook battery, or other power-related symptoms, you might need

to reset the SMC (System Management Controller).."

Try each of those resets at least 2 or 3x; then consider scheduling a Service.

Not sure what result if any, may come from hardware tests, run inside Mac.

If your Mac is from 2013 or later, use 'Apple Diagnostics', which is built in.

Hard to say what effect 'resets' may have on graphic issues; or underlying cause.

Good luck & happy computing!🌞🌙

Can someone else help me with this too? The same randomly started happening to my macbook 12 inch 2016. Ran diagnostics test, computer seems fine hardware wise. Rebooted, reset the NVRAM and PRAM, screen still glitching/flickering. Spoke to apple, heard it might be because of the recent MacOS catalina update. Apparently other people have called in about the same problem too.

When screen movement is involved with flicker, and on-off issues?

There are parts in the screen and in upper case that directly affect

the screen off and on. A repair would be indicated for symptoms.

Inverter? Or maybe equivalent of 'reed switch' may need replaced.

While inside, there may be other parts (battery?) that could be

cost effective to address while bulk of MacBook 12-in. is open.

Good luck!🐌🌻🐢

also wanted to mention my macbook 2016 is in excellent condition, still operates fine. the screen just glitches/flickers when i open my macbook and close it. is it the new update doing this?
