But I also get the problem with the battery disconnected. After fiddling with it, it now says it is "Normal". One odd thing: the battery had been giving a warning indicating need for service/replacement. I did manage to do an extended hardware check once when I had the display working, but it gave no hints of any problems. I reinstalled the latest compatible OS (10.13.6), but the issue persists. Apple has not revealed when it first recognized complications with the 20 MacBook Pro, but variants unveiled in 2018 included a longer display flex cable in an apparent bid to fix the. I've tried disconnecting the battery, removing the solid state drive (and booting off an external drive), and other standard trouble-shooting tips, but to no avail. Occasionally when trying to reset SMC and/or PRAM, I can get the display to work for a few minutes, but then it goes black again. In addition, it does not recognize any external monitors. Using Screen Sharing, I get a display that is almost square, like one would get with a headless Mac mini, rather than a display window proportional to 2880 x 1800. Remember, you dont need more than 60FPS on a mac - macos doesnt support freesync, nor does integrated mac screens support higher than 60 fps either. If they can stay at 3.5GHz or so theyll be good for demanding gaming. I have a similar issue with my wife's 2012 17" Retina display. Assuming the CPUs dont throttle hard theyll be good for more than just casual gaming.
