Screen flickering and have horizontal lines all over

Hello, so my macbook pro which i bought at 2017 having this issue the first time which then i replace the whole screen for $500 at 2018 in apple authorized service provider (my country don’t have apple store)

i also asked this problem in here black bar at the bottom screen

Now today at 2020 my screen one day suddenly showing an even worse flickering and horizontal lines. Can anyone give me what to do next? i am aware of the flexgate issue and wondering if i change my whole screen again for the second time will it broke again at maybe 2022?

if change the screen again in 2022 than the total cost of 3 time replacing screen is equal to a new macbook pro…

i never thought buying expensive laptop to be having this kind of issue, my $500 lenovo laptop from 2013 is still running fine until today, just a processor can’t keep up with today needs

or does apple already do some fixing like the one we find in 2018 (which people say have a longer flexible cable, 2mm or so? and do this really fix it?)

and here is also the video that i take with my phone to better see the whole issue

I would go back to the authorized service center as the part they put in was likely defective. You may need to send a letter to big Tim (tcook@apple.com) with your story.

Sadly, I have no answer here other then getting another display assembly. The issue you are facing is a T-CON issue again! There is no ribbon cable issue here.

You don't appear to be cooking your system. Apple's design to move the T-CON to the main case to save a few mm of space and then place it nearest the hottest area is just poor design.

If you can I would get an older 2015 retina or the still more serviceable 2012 Unibody or if you are up for it I would even jump up to the 16" 2020 as the few additional mm around the T-CON can help keep it cool.
