[QUOTE="rip, post: 1797332, member: 398616"] I have a problem that I cant seem to find that fault causing it. It seems the top half of my MacBook Pro A1286 2009 flickers fully black consistently. I have taken it apart and check the connections and it is all in perfect condition, in fact the system had never been opened prior to me opening. It is not overheating of the GPU. I thought it could be the screen itself however when plugged into a external display the bottom half of screen flashes grey for the first few seconds then works fine. With the charger plugged in, the flashing is more consistent and covers the whole screen at time. [MEDIA=youtube]4ZOJsC_vkbs[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
