Actually it’s quite a while ago when the screen flicker problems in all sorts of MacBooks first appeared on blogs and discussion forums around the internet. In the meantime, I have switched to Leopard and I innerly hoped that the software update would fix the problem. But, oh no, nothing happened. The flicker doesn’t even think to stop and I’m now asking: Why isn’t it possible for Apple to make an official statement? Is it because all the repairs would get too expensive or is it because they couldn’t figure out what the problem actually is?
I mean is it so difficult to admit hard- or software (who knows?) defects and to help people getting their computers fixed, I just don’t know. I really can’t understand why they can release all kinds of software updates like Pro Application Support (nothing against Pro people) when they are not even able to fix a common problem of which many people would be very happy to have it fixed in a way. I just want to say: I can’t understand Apple at the moment. I’m such a big Apple enthusiast and I’m really into all those products that they create but on the other side I cannot understand why they don’t really care to get everything done properly. The MacBook is in my opinion the best laptop on the market speaking of design and software but why is it then possible that a key on my built-in keyboard is not attached properly when the computer arrives, why is it possible that, after just one year (also end of warranty) the screen starts to flicker?
I can’t give you an answer and, believe me, I’d preferably write about something positive for Apple (which I’ll maybe do soon) but I am disappointed with how Apple treats its “fan” clients such in a bad way when they could do so much more.
I’d be interested what other people have done until now to fix it or how they were treated by the customer service…
I Understand. I have the same problems and finaly the same bad feeling about Apple.
hi guys
anyone know how to fix my flickering screen on my iphone sometimes it works properly and when it persist it its digusting i cant even see anything in my iphone its just a horizontal line and it flickers
@aris:
Hi!
If you still have a guarantee for it, bring it back to an Apple store to get a replacement. From what you say, I don’t think you can solve this problem by hand or with a software reinstall.
