[QUOTE="rcoe74, post: 1867384, member: 399206"] Hi I am encountering a problem with my Macbook Pro 13" 2017 256GB Core i5 Most of the time it's normal, but every so often the display fades to black almost like a venetian blind effect with horizontal lines across it and then remains black until restart. I thought this was a crash as it seemed unresponsive, but then I tried plugging in an external monitor and it's still working fine, I can use the external monitor as a second display or mirror the retina display. I can reboot using the second screen and then the retina screen comes back on. It seems unlikely to be hardware as the reboot solves it and I'm not touching the computer/distorting the screen when it happens. I updated to Catalina to see if that solved it (which it didn't), and have uninstalled a bunch of apps down to the bare bones that I need but that hasn't solved it. I tried to do a clean install from Recovery Console but I got a message saying not could not create Pre-boot Volume for APFS Install. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Any tips? Thanks [/QUOTE]
