Chosen Solution
My 2017 15” Macbook Pro has developed the lovely strobing/flickering touch bar, just a few months after Applecare ended. Will try seeing if I can talk Apple into a keyboard replacement, but if that fails, does anyone know if just replacing part 821-00480 will solve the issue? Update (09/16/2021) Well, Apple didn’t want to replace the keyboard when I brought it in and now it’s gotten worse so I guess this is just what it’s going to be until the whole computer fails… But if nothing else, it was an excuse to make a video to add to the ever growing collection of them on YouTube… I think mine has higher production values than most :) 2017 MacBook Touch Bar Flicker - In Detail
The strobing is often from the video controller which is on the main logic board its’ part of the T1 chip logic.
