I just bought a 2018 13" MBP with its screen flickering and some lines of piles would randomly be black (5 lines maximum).
I disassembled it and cleaned it. I noticed nothing extraordinary, the screen was previously taken off and the heatsink was surprisingly clean.
-the screen has a quite bad dent in the lower right corner but it the screen itself isn't broken.
