Subject: Display Flickering and Black Cloud Issues on 2017 MacBook Pro Touch Bar (Model A1706)
Hello everyone,
I am experiencing display issues with my 2017 MacBook Pro Touch Bar (Model A1706) and would appreciate your advice.
Recently, after opening Roblox, my MacBook’s display began flickering. The flickering stops when I close Roblox and other applications. However, later that night, I noticed black lines appearing intermittently along with flickering. Additionally, a “black cloud” appears near the bottom of the screen.
When I shut down the MacBook, the screen returns to normal temporarily, but after approximately 30 minutes of use, the black cloud reappears. I have not noticed significant heating during normal use (such as browsing Safari or using Telegram), but the issue persists with this small black cloud visible on the display.
I have also taken screenshots during the flickering and black cloud appearances, and the screenshots do not show any abnormalities, which leads me to believe the problem is hardware-related rather than software.
Could anyone advise what the likely cause of these symptoms is? Is this a display issue (such as the LCD panel or display cable) or could it be related to the motherboard or GPU? Also, what would be the recommended course of action for repair?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
