This model is configured with 16 GB of RAM, making it capable of multitasking and high processing speeds. I'm pretty sure it's something with the hardware, and I have no qualms about buying replacement parts and opening it up to swap stuff out (as challenging as it may be, iFixit is the bible here), I just want to know what the issue is! Happy to answer any more questions to try to get to the bottom of this.This refurbished Apple Macbook Pro 15″ display laptop features the popular Intel Core i7 3615QM 2.3 GHz processor and an LED-backlit 15.4″ display with a 1440×900 resolution. If anyone has any ideas of what could be wrong I'd be very grateful. I typically mirror only the displays, and make the mac screen go dark, though still use the mac's keyboard and track pad whilst looking at the bigger TV (1080p) display. Also, recently, when I've been plugging in my external monitor, typing has made both screens flicker (when it comes to its almost like the screens have readjusted themselves like i've just plugged in the display again).Īs an FYI, since the right I/O gave up ages ago, I use thunderbolt to connect my LG TV as an external display. For example, I tried to start playing Stardew Valley a week ago, and after about an hour in game it just kept flickering to the point I couldn't stick with it. I've noticed that though this will sometimes happen at random, it gets worse when the mac has to be graphically active. Now I have issues where sometimes I'll type and the mere action of pressing a button on the keyboard will send the screen flickering off and on. Then it developed a thing there by right clicking the screen would black out and when left alone it would come back. Say I would rest my palm on the palm rest by the track pad, sometimes the screen would flicker. Recently, it's gone more drastic than that. I first noticed it about a year or so ago, when I would sometimes lift my mac whilst it was on the screen may flicker black and then when set down on a table again it would right itself. Recently, however, I've been having the oddest issue. This is the Mac I own: I've had it basically since release (bought it about a month into release, it's served me through uni and now I use it as my daily driver at the office).ĭespite a few minor things like the right-hand I/O no longer working, the battery life now being about 30-40mins and about 3 dead pixels on the screen, it's been chugging away happily all this time and I've rarely had a complaint.

Really hope I'm not going against any rules by posting here, I'm just a little distraught at the amount my mac's been acting up lately.
