hinge

Hi. I’ve been using my MBA M2 over 3 weeks and today it started make some sort of noise. I think it’s coming from the left hinge or bazel. The noise appears when I close or adjust my MacBook lid. Is it sounds normal?

2009 13" Macbook Pro. As the title says, hinge (or hinge cover?) is in somewhat poor shape, cracks throughout the surface. Device itself opens and closes fine. Any knowledge as to whether the appearance is just cosmetic? Should I be worried? Thought about painting it with super glue or...

Some folks have noticed that the black trim piece underneath the display is "wavy" or appears to not be glued properly. Looks like the display cables the run underneath this trim piece are causing it to be wavy. iFixit provides a better view...

I have a 2017 model 13" MBP that has served me like a dream for over two years now. This week, it's developed a strange sound from the hinge when I move the notebook at specific angles. Please see the video to hear the exact sound. Video: https://photos.app.goo.gl/y7YW3YKfGT6rAviD8 The only...

Hi all! I got my macbook pro (2020 model) recently (purchased September 25) and I noticed that the hinge is a bit too stiff at times. I know Apple have designed their laptops in such a way that you can open the lid with one hand, and the body will stay in place, but that isn't the case for me...

I have a 16" MacBook Pro with a thin JCPal hardshell case clamped on, and have noticed since recent that the hinge feels kinda loose when I close it. The screen practically closes on its own once the angle with the base is < 30°. The rest of the hinge action feels normal and solid. It holds its...

Hey there! rocking a first gen MBP with Touchbar, pretty much maxed specs. it's been in service for almost everything there is (battery, left side ports, storrage controller, keyboard). but NOW is's started to make some freaking weird cracking noise a few minutes after i start using it. It's...

Greetings MR, as of late I'd been getting complaints from the people I talk to on Skype/Viber etc. using the internal microphone, namely them hearing very harsh noises whenever I move or adjust the hinge of the screen back/forth. I thought I'd try a recording using Quicktime and it indeed...

I have a Mid 2013 13" MacBook Air and the hinge is broken, meaning that it will fall almost flat with the keyboard. Also, whenever I adjust it, the hinge makes alarming sounds :eek:. I'm guessing that this was probably caused by longterm stress on the hinge throughout the almost 4-years I have...

So I have a mid 2012 Macbook Pro and I've had to replace a screen hinge on another pro model from this era because it was in very bad shape. This time the hinge cover is starting to crack but for now it isn't a big deal and I wondering if anyone knew about specific types of glue or fixes that...

Hi All, I have had many problems with this laptop. High pitched key noise on some keys, rattling noise from the screen... etc. However, the most annoying one is a loud click noise coming form the hinge I believe when I open the laptop after it has been closed for a while, it is really loud and...

Hello, i have the new 2016 macbook pro 15" with the touch bar for about 2 weeks and i have some problems with it. one of them is when i shake it side to side i hear a rattling sound (i found out that is the light panel behind the display) and i want to ask if other 2016 mackbooks have this...

I switched between 3 different configurations of the 2016 Macbook Pro, both non-touch bar and touch bar models. All three of the Macbooks made a somewhat quiet noise when opened, sometimes when closed. It sometimes sounds like a click, but other times it's a bit louder and sounds like a sticky...

With the new hinges on the new MacBook Pro, it looks like the maximum that the new MacBook Pro will open up is 90 degrees. I think that it would be better if it could open up more than that. Does anybody have any info on this?

Oldy, 13inch,White MacBook. System 10.6.8/2gib memory/2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo Startup fine, always with chimes. But recently, when lifting the screen from sleep mode, screen refuses to come up completely. Can see faint outline of desktop but requires restart to get screen back to normal. It was...
