MacBook Pro 2017 Screen Flickering
The problem started with my battery not holding a charge. I'd shut it down with, say, 70% battery, then switch it on the next day, and it would show 70% and shut off if it wasn't plugged in.
I tried a couple of things to try and resolve this which led to the screen starting to flicker erratically. It could be related or not. 🤷🏼♂️
I have tried everything and it doesn't happen when my mate logged in remotely and also in safe mode.
I saw this thread (2017 MacBook Pro screen flickering) where someone had the same issue but someone said it may be a bad T-CON board or the battery is goosed!
Obviously I don't want to replace the screen and/or battery if it's possibly none of them.
Is there any way to diagnose this property and stop this from happening?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

Hi Dan, thanks so much for your answer. Here's the image you requested:
I'm in safe mode just now which works perfectly. I'll switch to normal mode and make a video for you.

Hey guys, thanks so much for all your efforts thus far.
So we seem to have narrowed it down to T-CON logic being the culprit. How does one go about testing/checking this?
