Screen glitching on mid 2015 macbook pro 15 retina

[newhouse]

i have a mid 2015 a1398 mbp 2.6ghz 16gb 512gb radeon m370. screen glitches randomly, restarting/reseting smc helps temporarily. works perfectly in BootCamp. any ideas?

I was about to say it looks like hardware failure, but you mentioned it works fine in bootcamp. So I am now assuming OSX and its driver are not playing nice. I don't know if there is a way to reinstall just the display driver or if there is a driver to download out there.

Have you tried using different resolutions and then returning to the original?

i did recently replace the display cable, I'll reattach it to make sure. it worked fine for a while though. I'll look into drivers, if I cant find anything upgrading to newest macos could help.

good idea didn't help though.

Did you DIY the cable replacement or had it serviced? Me thinks that's the issue and perhaps there is a "pairing" for the cable that must happen for OSX to play nice.

huh. yeah i did it myself since i thought it would be pretty low risk. that would make sense except for the BootCamp thing. I'll try to more carefully take it out and put it back in case

Hi newhouse!

My girlfriend's computer (same model) has the same problem.

Have you found a solution?

yeah, it was the lvds cable in the screen. get a real one or from ifixit or something cause the one which broke was a cheap one from amzazon
