Also, I should say that I've NEVER been able to get my ethernet port to work on my computer, so any advice there would be golden.

Oh, no, I was unaware of that! Shoot, I just bought a new wireless card (Fenvi)... Do you have a suggestion of what I should buy instead? At this point, I'm strongly considering a fresh install from scratch instead of trying to do all of this piecewise and troubleshoot. Hopefully it's simpler...

Yes, sorry, FROM Catalina! Okay, so you're suggesting that I basically start from scratch using a brand new drive? I guess I'll have to go through the whole process of finding the right extensions and such, yeah? It took me so long the first time, but I guess it's worth it to bring my computer...

Hi everyone, It's been a very long time coming, but I'm finally ready to make the upgrade to Catalina since my WiFi card is bugging out and I don't want any incompatibilities when I install a new one. It's been so long since I've done this that I'm feeling totally lost. I don't even know where...

Ah, got it re: EFI. I didn't realize that. Sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean by signal interference or USB earthing. Can you clarify what I can do to test these things? Re: alternative OS, I have a bootable version of Mac OS X on another internal hard drive, so I can try that, but since...

My monitor is less than a year old, so that should definitely not be the issue. I don't have access to another one :/. I feel like it's gotta be something with my EFI, I just don't know what.

I must have done that by mistake when I moved. In any case, I removed one of the cables and the problem is still there :/. Really not sure what to do.

I did try that. I just tried a new solution that I THINK may solve the problem. It's been working so far, and if this is correct, I'm going to feel awfully dumb. I had both a display port and HDMI cable plugged into the monitor. I removed one. Let's see what happens. Thank you for the suggestion!

Hello, all. This problem is still here in a big way and seriously messing with productivity. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it does it. Again, I haven't changed anything, so I don't know why it would be doing it out of nowhere. Any help is seriously appreciated!!

Bumping the thread

Two wrinkles: I updated my Lilu, WhateverGreen, and AppleALC to see if that would fix it. It didn't. I then tried plugging in by HDMI instead of DisplayPort, and even though I never switched the input (it's still listed as using DisplayPort), it doesn't seem to be flickering anymore... On top of...

Hello All, Apologies in advance if this has been addressed and I've missed it, but I'm sort of at a loss. My computer was working fine for months and months, then out of nowhere, the screen started intermittently flickering, then sometimes going to black without me being able to wake it. I...

I'm really hoping that someone can help me with this. I've tried a bunch of different things. I'd be happy to just downgrade back to 10.15.4, but I can't seem to get that to work either! When I download the package and try and run it, it says that the hard drive doesn't meet the requirements to...

Hey All, This is a pretty strange one. I had a bunch of problems with the 10.15.5 update, but it looked like I may have finally solved them. I removed my SSD from its tower, put it in an enclosure, plugged it into my laptop and booted there. It worked totally fine. When I put the drive back...

For some more info: I updated the firmware of the mouse's dongle and at first that seemed to help, but now it's back to its old ways. Really struggling here.
