5D mkiii ver 123 LCD flicker

[Allen Achterberg]

been using ML for about a year now, and its been great. out of the blue today the LCD flickers when changing settings, or sometimes when moving the frame. Does not effect the recorded image. I've uninstalled, reformatted the card the slow format, and reinstalled with a fresh download of ML. Problem came back. if ML is uninstalled theres no issue. in the video you can see flicker when I depress the shutter button half way, also when changing shutter speed and F stop. I see this also when scrolling through canons menus.

I have the exact same setup and started having the exact same problem today. Wasn't doing it yesterday, but turned the camera on tonight to shoot and it's doing this exact same thing. Really weird. 

So I thought it might be an April Fools joke inside the ML firmware. Changed the date in my camera back to March and the flickering went away. Confirmed. Change the date and it goes away.

I changed the date too seems fine for now. Maybe a simple fix for those who can code? and exclude the y2K flaw I dono. He'res what I do know, it was quite terrifyuing and I'm glad other have experienced and also solved it the same way. You're post should be a sticky
