It’s either a screen issue cable or board issue.. definitely need a repair. Apple store will be very expensive..

Yes, 2011 model. Just 1 year ago, they have replaced the logic board due to similar issues. So fast uplorry again ah?

I reset the pram and for now, the flickering stops. But only during start up, the white screen has a white colourful line across.

Try connecting to an external display.
If that works well, then could be a monitor issue.
If it doesnt, then definitely a GPU issue.

Both issues independently worth fixing. Both together, not worth.
Use the opportunity to buy a new one.

If you want, I can help you fix. PM me.

Most likely GPU issue. Need to replace motherboard, unfortunately too costly imo.

The repair costs just doesn't justify enough and 2011 model is already very old. I had a 2010 model before its HDD gave up and also randomly shuts off whenever I change graphics, hence bought the 2015 one and used until now.

I suggest just get a new MBP and don't have to worry for some time. The touchbar is pretty cool too.

had the same problem. GPU issue. Need to change logicboard. totally not worth.

Hijack for a bit, I’m having a similar issue with my MacBook Pro 2009 13 inch. Connect to external display no issue. Suspect inverter cable problem, wondering if I could get it anywhere?

Anyone have an issue with their macbook keyboard? sometimes cant even hit a certain button in a row. Do let me know if you have any solution other than sending it for servicing.
