Issues with MacBook Pro 2016 screen

Hi. Does anyone know what the issue is?

After using the laptop for awhile, black stripes started to appear across the screen like 1st image (like pixel burn-in) and slowly spread to the whole screen like in the 2nd image. The laptop was still responsive as I could see the mouse movement but basically the whole screen was black.

If I put the laptop to sleep for awhile and turned it back on, the screen was back to normal but the behavior repeated itself after awhile.

Some other times, the screen stuttered and flickered and became completely black (I couldn't see anything, like the screen is off completely). I had to close the lid and opened for it to back to normal.

Sadly the T-CON board which drives the LCD panel is failing. The fully display assembly is needed to repair this MacBook Pro 13" Retina (Late 2016-2017) Display Assembly and here's the guide Sostituzione gruppo display del MacBook Pro 13" Touch Bar versione fine 2016 to prove that connecting to an external display will show the complete image.

A common cause of this is a system which is unable to cool its self effectively so the heat sensitive components on the T-CON degrade. Making sure the dust buildup internally on the logic boards, fan and the heatsink fins can go along way in reducing the issue, likewise heavy gaming without manually overriding the thermal management using a good monitoring App like TG-pro which also allows you to rev up the fans.

Thanks for the reply. The cost seems expensive for a 10-year-old Macbook. I got this from my family member and I just learnt that they missed out the free repair program that was offered by Apple back in 2021-2022.

Even when I left the Macbook idle and the display on for awhile, the issue still appeared. But the screen showed up fine when I used an external monitor or Airplay to TV. Do you reckon if I only use an external monitor and keep the lid closed, can I extend the display life before it fails completely?

@nganh - Sorry to hear they missed the screen replacement (it wasn't well disclosed). The fact the system works using an external monitor just cements the issue is the T-CON board.

Using the system via an external fully bypasses the internal display. Here you will want a Bluetooth or USB wired keyboard and mouse to use the system as if it were a desktop.

You can continue to use the system that way, only having to lift the lid up to gain access to the power/TouchID button and only loosing the FaceTime camera. If you set the display to be in Mirror mode then the lid can be up. Most people prefer the system to the side and not used the FaceTime camera.
