Mbp 2015 - horizontal lines & frozen screen

[lively22]

Hi everyone,

I was watching a movie, suddenly my screen went dark like a glitch then HORIZONTAL LINES appeared,
I try to press any button even the trackpad won't respond..
So I just hold the power button to force shutdown, and when I turned it on it's fine.
I have already reset my NVRAM and still observes my notebook..

Please check from the attached photo.


DO you guys have the same experience like this? I am worried.

Every time I've had this sort of problem it's been a graphics card issue which means a logic board replacement. If under guarantee or you have Apple Care, back to the Apple Store.

Hi Badshoehabit,

Thanks for replying.. Actually I just had my logicboard replaced November of last year.. The problem then was there was a random glitch on the screen.
I'm still covered by applecare though, but I wonder what causes this.
Its an MBP 13" Early 2015

If it's under Apple Care take it straight back.

Have you experienced the same issue? The horizontal black lines?

On a 2011 MBP

And on a mid 2015 MBP

did it also freeze? Like it hanged? That it doesn't respond when you type?

 

[badshoehabit]

Can't remember. You have Apple Care so please take it back.

Definitely sounds and looks like a GPU issue. Just as others have said, bring it back to Apple and get another replacement ASAP!
