Your Mac screen can flicker for a number of reasons, and some problems are more difficult to fix than others. In today's article, we'll introduce some of the main reasons why your Mac screen flickers, and then we'll cover selected solutions that you can try.
Drop, water damage and software glitch
Mac screen flickering can have various causes. Some can only be detected by high-quality diagnostics in the service center, but you can easily fix some yourself. The display of your Mcu may start to flicker, for example, as a result of a fall or impact. However, the cause of flickering can also be water damage or the problematic functioning of some functions. This option is usually the best, because it is usually solved by a simple procedure or a simple update of the operating system.

Booting in safe mode
Another option you can try is to start your Mac in Safe Mode. This process will perform several automatic disk checks and may also fix some basic operating system problems. To start an Intel-based Mac in Safe Mode, shut it down and hold down the Shift key while restarting. Finally, choose to boot in safe mode. If you want to start a MacBook with an Apple Silicon chip in safe mode, turn it off. Wait for a while then press and hold the power button until it says Loading boot options. Select the desired volume, hold Shift and click Continue in Safe Mode.
Apple diagnostics
A tool called Apple Diagnostics won't solve your Mac's flickering screen problems, but it can help you uncover the cause in some cases. To run the Apple Diagnostics, first shut down Msc completely and disconnect all external devices except the keyboard, mouse, display, power supply, and Ethernet connection if applicable. If you have a Mac with an Apple Siliocn processor, turn on the computer and hold down the power button. When the Startup Options window appears, release the button and press Command + D. For an Intel-based Mac, turn the Mac off, then turn it back on and hold down the D key. When prompted to choose a language or with a progress bar, release the key.
