Screen Flickers Caused by Overheating?
I've been using my Apple Thunderbolt Display for about three years now, and recently it's been giving off these flickers/flashes after running for about 10-20min (around when the heat exhaust from the lower left side gets decently hot to the touch). I replaced the fan inside thinking it was an issue with that but the problem did not go away. I've also tried additional external cooling with extra fans but that did not help. My suspicion is that the components themselves are creating more heat than they should but I don't honestly know. It could also be a software thing, which might be a problem for me as I use it as a monitor for a Windows PC. I've attached a video link here: https://youtu.be/QdNNoDSd99U. It's easy to miss it on the video but it's far more noticeable in-person. Any advice is welcome!
Questa è una buona domanda?

Can you explain a bit more what you mean?

@dg179 I'd focus on the components heating up. this could simply be a failing capacitor on your power board. This is where some kind of thermal camera will come in handy. Also, try some freeze spray and try different areas of high power consumption while the screen flickers. If the flickering stops or decreases you know where to check closer. I know that this will not be easy to do but with a little bit of ingenuity, it can be accomplished. You got this!
