flexgate

In Internet there are mixed opinions about whether MacBooks with Apple Silicon chips that have the 2016 MacBook Pro exterior design (MacBook Air M1 and MacBook Pro 13" M1/M2) are affected by the fatigue present on the display flex cable due to opening and closing the lid, so I would like to ask...

Hi, I spilled some juice on my MBP 2days ago but the keyboard was kinda spared. There is a pretty big watermark on my screen (ie water is shown on the display). The keyboard is working fine. There is also a flexgate that showed up! Issues What I am concerned about is did the juice spill make...

Hi, I recently bought a MBA M1 (a2337) from a friend, super cheap, because the display does not work It works just fine connected to an external display, so I've been using it that way I do remember once or twice opening the lid to see image, but then it quickly turned off I've seen this...

I have an old Watch 1st gen linked to my iPhone that died. Worked perfectly. I rarely wear with home office but we used to use the WalkiTalkie feature to my husband Watch 4 which we have just to the EKG and steps and maybe to tell Siri to turn on and off lights. So, I disconnected it from my...

Here's the story; I bought my a2159 last February 2019, then in November 2019, the noticed the command key has been chipped off. I was so disappointed, I paid a big amount of money for this machine, and yet the keycap has been chipped easily. I went to the Apple store to have it replaced, but...

I bought a MacBook Pro 15" 2016 on the Apple refurb 3 years ago and had this problem : First of all is it a kind of Flexgate issue, does anybody know something about it ? After going to the Apple workshop they say my battery had melted and moved something around the keyboard and changed all...

Hi! My 2018 13 inch MacBook Pro has a display issue very similar to the 'flexgate' problems. The colors are distorted, but when the lid is at very low angle, the problem disappears. So, I guess it is still problem with display cable. Apple apparently did not solve it properly. There is also...

Hello, Im sure like me a lot of people are having this issue. I happened to visit the authorised service centre in India, and they asked me for $600 for changing the screen. They declined the company's free replacement programme based on two reasons - 1. That my screen is not working. What they...

Hi, I have a new MacBook Pro 2019 128GB. I bought it less than 3 months ago and Apple have had to already replace the LCD screen due to lines across the screen (no accidental damage, just hardware defect - Flexgate). After receiving the MacBook back after being repaired, it is now over heating...

The screen of my MacBook Pro 2018 with touchbar stopped working out of the blue 45 days after my warranty expired. Depending on the angle you open the laptop it will function normally. There’s is no “right angle” or “right position” for it to work. Sometimes it will work fine in 15º, 30º or...

Out of nowhere, my screen totally crapped out. It’s almost like it’s a negative colour except for the circle right in the middle. I’ve tried all trouble shooting ideas but it’s obviously a hardware issue. Think this could be part of flexgate?

My mid-2014 MBP13 is not as graceful as it used to be. I need more RAM since I've shifted all of my computing from my Windows PC to my Mac. Also, I'm running a 4K display and the fans seem to be running very loud now. So, I'm in the market for a new MBP and I don't know if I should get a 2018...

Just wanted to show proof that apple has and continued to remove my posts with any mention of flexgate. At first, ny original post did not contain pictures, and it remained on the website for about tow to three days. The moment I added pictures it got deleted, which I followed to make another...

Hi there! I have a tough decision to make. Looking to replace my old iMac from late 2013 and I really love the Macbook pro-2018 model, not the previous models. The only reason I'm afraid of buying this one because of possible flex-gate issues even after a silent fix from Apple extending the...

since the design flaw of MacBook Pro 2016 and later, I wonder if it’s a good timing to buy a new MacBook Pro? My currently MacBook is the MacBook Air 2012 model, so it’s quite old. But I’m afraid of this Flexgate which is quite serious and I want to buy a MacBook that at least lasts 5 years or...

I'm well overdue for a new laptop, but sheez, with the recent MacBook Pro keyboards and displays that both seem likely to fail and are ridiculously expensive to have repaired out of warrantee, I'm afraid to buy any recent model. A comparable Dell XPS 15, say, with what seems like an even better...

I've had my 2018 15" MacBook Pro since August. A few weeks ago, I've noticed some somewhat darker spots at about the middle of the display. It's particularly visible with bright colors, not so much with very dark ones. It's the most visible when displaying monochrome backgrounds (i.e. a white...

My 2016 macbook pro with Touch Bar that i owned since it was release, started a its "flexgate" issue a week ago. Flexgate appears to be an issue caused by very fragile lcd flex cables. The LCD itself is fine, i never dented it or forced on the screen while opening it or anything... Problem is...
