[QUOTE="Gogargirl, post: 1810973, member: 401576"] Hi folks - I'd be very grateful for any suggestions you may have to help my ailing MBP please! Mid 2015 15 inch retina, 2.2GHz i7 and all tickety-boo until a few days after upgrading to Mojave 10.14.2, I suddenly get blocks of random colour and flickering on the display. I power down, re-boot and run virus checks just in case (I spent too long with Windows!) and no problems detected. Now, whenever I boot up, two thirds of the way through the process the display flashes various forms of this image [ATTACH=FULL]29074[/ATTACH] and never gets to the log-in screen. Everything is absolutely fine if I boot in safe mode. I have tried resetting NVRAM and SMC and even inputting my password, but nothing works. The Apple Diagnostic says there are no issues found. So I went to my local reseller, who said the logic board needs replacing. How can that be, if the diagnostic can't find a problem and safe mode is fine? Are there any home tests I can do to reassure myself the logic board does need replacing, before I shell out all that money?! [/QUOTE]
